I have made a few corrections and added a few sites. I wish to keep this list up to date with corrections and new info as it becomes available. I could not have gathered all this info myself. I would like to thank Karen Fletcher, Georgina Brown, Adam Finkelstein, Graeme Roberts, David Wallis, Shelly Johnson, Mike Tyler, Gary Lipe, Mitchell Owen, Don Harper and Craig Lowery. I hope I didn't miss anyone. I would like to send a special thanks to Cheryl Trine for proofing this document and for posting it on her Web page (GardenNet, under GardenNet's Guide to Internet Garden Resources). She also informed me that this list should be available via anonymous ftp in mid May. I will repost this list when that is established with the appropriate directory info. This list is also available via email at GardenNet@olympus.net, Subject:Gardening FAQ with no message. Thanx a whole heap Cheryl! And may your plants bring you joy and perpetual happiness! Many of the sites listed have links to other sites listed and not listed. I have done my best to check the accuracy of the whole thing and will look forward to being corrected on my mistakes. I would like to keep the list updated with new sites so please send any new site info or info not included in this list to me at billg@yrkpa. kias.com. I will re-post this list on rec.gardens every month as I get the chance. No guarantees. mailing lists: hort-l@vtvm1.cc.vt.edu (send sub info to listserv@vtvm1.cc.vt.edu) (ed. note: This is a one way mailing list.

You can receive one message combining all the smaller messages into one but using the digest command.) gardens@ukcc.uky.edu (send sub info to listserv@ukcc.uky.edu) (ed. note: I subscribed to this list for about a year. It was not unusual to receive 50+ messages each day.) Daffodil discussion list- send the message subscribe daffodil your name to listserv@mc.edu. Note about mailing lists; you should send a message with the command help in the body to the listserve at the site which maintains the mailing list to get a complete list of commands (including how to unsubscribe).

(ed. note: Has entries about gardening as well as family, health, parenting and many other subjects. Has keyword searches and "items added this week selections".) Virginia Cooperative Extension Service- gopher to gopher.ext.vt..edu | VCE Subject Matter | (ed. note: There are many subdirectories below this one. My advice is to look around and if you don't find what you looking for on your first look, try another route. I found 2 files about fruit in one section and 1 about fruit in another seemingly unrelated section. The keyword search appears to be fairly unreliable. I searched for "tomato" and got "Gloxinia".

There are also other things there including articles from recent issues of Southern Living and Sunset Magazines. Takes a little patience to download things because there are generous graphics sprinkled throughout.) (ed. note: You have to sign up to access the Gardening Library.
