Resources

Books (my favorites):

• Carrots Love Tomatoes by Louise Riotte
• You Grow Girl by Gayla Trail
• The Garden Primer by Barbara Damrosch
• The Vegetable Gardener's Bible by Edward C. Smith

Online:

• Sunset Magazine - great ideas and tips for the region
• Portland Nursery - located here in PDX on Stark
• You Grow Girl Blog - yes, the book is also a blog!
• Metro - your tax dollars pay for them, use them!
• Mother Earth News - magazine as well, they are a bit more "homestead" focused but still great
• Territorial Seed Company - local seed company that has a wonderful selection of seeds that you know will survive in Oregon

Extreme sources:

• Path to Freedom Journal - this family is "urban homesteading" in Pasadena, CA. Fascinating but very might at the far end of the spectrum.
