Recommend me gardening sites, blogs, and fora?
« on: 21 January, 2014, 08:58:43 pm »
I'm in need of inspiration and encouragement. Spring is coming and I need to get out there and do stuff.

Any places on the web that'll do for gardening what yacf has done for cycling?

I'll always hang around here as well - but the gardening board is a bit low traffic and I'm in need of much, much more prompting.

Many thanks.

I'm a member of two forums: http://gardenworld.proboards.com and http://www.gardenerscorner.co.uk/forum/ but I've never really got into them in the same way as YACF.  Different demographic and familiarity with computers mostly.

I follow loads of blogs, but that very much depends on what you're after and whose style you like. For example, I follow two of James Alexander Sinclair's blogs, I find him mildly amusing but understand that he's not to everybody's taste.
Others are:
 Emma Cooper - into growing unusual edibles
 Jane Perrone - Guardian gardening correspondent, a bit quiet at the moment
 Jekka MacVicar - herbs, herbs and more herbs
 Sue Beesley - winner of BBC Gardener of the Year some time ago now. Now a professional nursery owner. Good writer. Active on Twitter as well.
 Veg Plotting - amateur based in Chippenham. Often interesting
