Spring has arrived (kind of) and even though I’m on deadline for Luke’s Last Hot Summer (a new novella in my Kingsmill Courtships series), I’m also thinking about the garden. Gardening can be a huge part of a mindful prepper’s plan to build up their family’s food pantry. But gardening can also turn into a full time job. Regardless if you’re experienced or a beginner, there is so much to learn and do. It can be overwhelming. Since I am also a reference librarian who can’t help but offer free information, I’ve updated my resource list of some of my favorite gardening YouTube channels, books, and blogs. I am not affiliated with any of these channels or content creators. I’ve just used their information to help me on my journey of having a flourishing garden that offers me tons of fruits and veggies from the summer into the fall.
So if gardening is something you’re interested in, or you just want to learn more, below is a list of resources that may help you get started or improve your yield. These are not comprehensive lists, just some of my favorites. And while many of the books are for beginners, they are still useful for even the most experienced gardener.
