Links to Useful Sites and Blogs

If you are looking for information there’s loads of stuff out there! I have my favourite sites and you’ll no doubt have others that suit your style of gardening, but if you’re just starting to look then here’s a couple of websites which list many of the gardening sites, a list of the sites I enjoy and links to the (obvious) garden forums.

Quick routes to finding sites:
http://chrisnorton.biz/social-media/the-uks-top-20-gardening-blogs/ – a 2011 top 20 of gardening websites and blogs with good descriptions about each site.
http://www.cision.com/uk/social-media-index/top-10-uk-gardening-blogs/ – a top 10 of sites – a good starting point but just lists the site names no detail on the content
