I'm looking for a good gardening calendar-- preferably a website, but would also consider buying a book if there's a really good one that matches my needs. I need one good for my area/zone, and VERY comprehensive! I just moved to a house with quite a bit of property that is nicely landscaped and has a giant vegetable/flower garden. I need to quickly learn to make the switch from indoor gardening to the outdoors, and already I know our property needs a lot of work. I don't know much of anything about what to do and when to do it, and we have quite a variety of plants, so I wouldn't mind something a little "dumbed down," at least for now. I will certainly miss things if they assume I already know anything. :) Some examples of questions lurking in my mind: what can I plant in fall? What do I do to get my garden ready for winter? When do I weed the garden and when do I mulch? When should I transplant a tree? When do I start seeds inside? When do I prune?

If anyone has any suggestions, I'd love to hear them!

Thanks,
Dana
