If you're talking about growing edibles, I'd buy a couple books: The simple, local "Maritime Northwest Gardening Guide" put out by Seattle Tilth. Steve Solomon's "Growing Vegetables West of the Cascades" is also a good one.

City People's (on Madison) is full of knowledgeable people and everything you need to start and maintain your garden--plant starts, seeds, tools, compost, fertilizer, watering and irrigation supplies, etc.

There are some companies out there that will help you out, for a fee. Check out the Seattle Urban Farm Company:

www.seattleurbanfarmco.com

Finally, I have my own blog which the blog of a beginning gardener in Seattle (with some tangents, of course). Not long ago, I was in your same shoes!

Good luck,

Thanks Matt!

I do not think growing your own goods is legal in this state.

sure it is, if you grow it for medicinal use. just don't smoke it in public

How about making of brownies? In India we don't have brownies.

Did you miss the Hempfest? plenty of brownies there

good muffins too

city people's is pricey. Lowes has cheaper compost, ect...

Thank you very much for the information I really appreciate it!!

I found this useful site for gardening seeds

I think it is nice to start an urban gardening...it adds beautification on your home and you can garden design it by yourself.

i love gardening, but i have no big place. urban gardening is a very nice idea and i can use my gardening skills as well as artistic skills.
