The thing about edible gardening is that it's not going to be any fun to go it alone. You're going to want to read up to find more inspiration and ideas, connect with others both in real life and over the web, and you'll have to find somewhere to buy supplies. The lists below of books, websites, and organizations are ones which I've personally found useful on my lazy gardening journey. I hope they help you on yours as well.
Grow Great Grub by Gayla Trail
A great extension of Gayla's popular website and blog, You Grow Girl - straightforward and real.
The One-Block Feast by Margo True and the Staff of Sunset Magazine
The same year I was beginning to explore the world of edible gardening, Margo and the Sunset staff were starting their journey of trying to create a one-block feast. As a long time reader of the magazine I followed the length of their journey as chronicled by their James Beard Award winning blog and have been forever inspired to grow my own food. This book is the culmination of their amazing project.
Small Space Container Gardens by Fern Richardson
A must read for small space gardeners on how to make the most of container gardening.
The Sunset Western Garden Book of Edibles
Living on the west coast of the United States, I use this book as my bible for all things edible gardening. It may not have some of the more unique international varieties of plants - but it covers all the basics.
If you're located in a different part of the country, simply do a search for edible gardening and your state or region on Amazon and you should find plenty of similar options.
The Urban Farm Handbook by Annette Cottrell and Joshua McNichols
From how to build a goat milking station to milling your own flour, Annette and Joshua take you through how to feed yourself from your own yard.
Written by former Martha Stewart garden editor Margaret Roach this is THE website to come to for everything garden related.
A real from scratch take at edible gardening in an urban environment which sees plenty of snow in the winter, Gayla Trail makes it all look possible. For an even closer peek, follow her on Instagram.
All things container gardening, written by Fern Richardson.
While again, most of it's tips and suggestions are directed at gardeners on the west coast of the United States, their articles are straightforward and very helpful.
While it's a total mess and there's no way to tell whether an image will lead you back to a valuable source - it's still a great place to hunt around for tips, techniques, and ideas. Here's a link to the board I pin my ideas to; Grow: Edible Garden.
If you'd prefer to order all your supplies online - this is the go-to website for all things gardening. From tools, to soil, to raised bed kits - you'll find it all on Gardeners Supply.
A 100% organic seed supplier. They also sell supplies and some live plants.
This non-profit organization, based out of Iowa, specializes in heirloom seeds which may be difficult to find at your local nursery.
Since moving to Seattle, I've ordered all my seeds from this British Columbia based company. They have a great selection with both common and more unusual varieties.
Wall hanging gardening options and other great options for small space gardeners. I'm currently growing mint in one of their Tina table planters.
Here in Seattle, my go-to organizations for garden support, advice, and supplies are Seattle Tilth, Swansons Nursery, and Washington State University. The advice I've received from employees and volunteers of these organizations has been invaluable to my journey into edible gardening. If you aren't sure where to look for local organizations just try a quick Google search for your region or hometown and edible gardening.
Just one tip, while big box stores like Home Depot and Lowes sell gardening supplies, most of their plants and supplies are not organic and often it's not something emphasized by their gardening department's philosophy. On the other hand, most local nurseries will advise you to keep your edible garden organic - free of chemical based pesticides and fertilizers. While it's perfectly reasonable to purchase hardware supplies like tools, containers, and untreated wood at big box hardware stores - I would advise against purchasing any plants, soil, or fertilizers. Stick to your local nursery for those types of supplies.
