Resources for a beginner?


I recently purchased a home and had the good fortune of inheriting a beautiful garden. I’d really like to continue growing vegetables like the previous owners (tomato, kale, chard, broccoli, basil, etc), but trouble is that I know absolutely nothing about gardening!What resources would you recommend for someone like me? YouTube channels, books, websites, etc. I’m very excited to have a project like this, and I appreciate that there’s tons to learn considering it’s both art & science. I have 4 decent sized raised garden beds to work with and live in Oregon. My goal is to finalize a plan by end of winter so I can hit the ground running when things finally warm back up. Thanks in advance for your help!

Our garden is absolutely full of weeds and clover and they're all around the plants. How do we fix this? A lot of the plants are too close together to use a machine for it. We don't want to lose our garden

For context it has been storming nearly every single day here and the clover and weeds are thriving and we haven't been able to get to them. My dad just died so it's just me (21F) and my grandma. I have very severe asthma and the smoke in the air makes it difficult for me to work outside and my grandma is nearly 70. What do we do?

Hello everyone,I hope this post is allowed, otherwise feel free to delete it! I am a Greek student in Sweden studying marketing and I am doing research related to community gardens, more specifically how community gardens act as spaces for citizens to express resistance to urbanization and food culture. As part of the research project I need to interview people who are active members in the community gardens and could give me more information related to community gardens, the overall community and in general your experiences when it comes to community gardens, why you do it, etc. Please send me a message or leave a comment if you are interested in helping me by sharing your experience with me! Thank you in advance!
