Grow It! Eat It! - cool website & free how-to classes

There is a great website - http://growit.umd.edu/ - it is a volunteer run program through the University of Maryland College of Agriculture and Natural Resources - run by "Master Gardeners". The website has some great documents - including 1) which variety of vegetables grow best in Maryland, 2) how to get soil tested, etc.

Also, there are free classes in each county (and in Baltimore City) including: Basic Vegetable Gardening, Advance Gardening Techniques, Composting, How to Grow Great Tomatoes, etc. I attended a class in Howard County and the presenter had been gardening for over 20 years and provided a lot of great information about gardening in Maryland.
