How to use this site.  Each page contains helpful content from chapters of our books, and these "chapter headings" are listed on the navigation bar to the left side of each page.

If you are serious about gardening, you always start with planning your vegetable garden.  Do you want to grow sustainable heirloom or open pollinated varieties?  Or hybrid vegetables.  Or both? 

We've made it easy for you.  We have a hybrid vegetable section, broken up by the alphabet to help with the numerous amounts of vegetables.  Also an heirloom section, by alphabet.  We've listed every vegetable in the catalogs (listed at the end of the navigation bar).  Each vegetable variety has the code (first 3 letters) of the seed catalog.  Once you've made a list of vegetables you might want to try, go to the seed source (end of navigation bar) and click on their web addresses given.  It will take you directly to their web sites.  Vegetable varieties will be updated yearly, and new varieties added as we learn about them.  So...you'll always be kept up to date with this section of the web site.

The culture of each vegetable is listed under the hybrid sections, but applies to the heirloom as well.

We've given you everything you need to get you started, to help you along the way to conquer pests and diseases, tips for growing and so much more.  Of course, we've had to condense all this information.  We can't put the full contents of any of our books on the web due to space limitations.  We will have a new book out soon and will be taking pre-orders, so keep checking with us. 

If you have a gardening friend please pass the web address along to them.

If you are a Postage Stamp gardener let us know your story.  If you have any gardening questions you can contact us at knew@surewest.net.
