-====My Most Used Resources====
-===Clemson Cooperative Extension Service===
-[[https://www.clemson.edu/extension/index.html| Clemson Cooperative Extension Service]]
-Most useful to me has been their [[https://hgic.clemson.edu/|Home Garden Information Center]] and the
+=====Youtube=====
-Which is a vast resource of information on topics from [[https://hgic.clemson.edu/factsheet/planning-a-garden/|home garden planning]], [[https://hgic.clemson.edu/factsheet/controlling-weeds-by-cultivating-mulching/|weed control]], [[https://hgic.clemson.edu/factsheet/integrated-pest-management-ipm/|pest management]], [[https://hgic.clemson.edu/factsheet/canning-foods-at-home/|canning]] and [[[[https://hgic.clemson.edu/factsheet/|more]].
+Many of channels you see are there to shill a product to you, make entertainment with no substance or portray themselves as experts.
-===NC State University Extension===
+That said, here are some channels I recommend who creators are more interested in relaying information and advice.

+====Horttube with Jim Putnam====
+https://www.youtube.com/@JimPutnam
-Their [[https://plants.ces.ncsu.edu/|Gardener's Toolbox]] is an amazing resource for plant species identificiation, care information and garden planning.
+Located in urban Raleigh, NC USDA 7A
-The [[https://jcra.ncsu.edu/|JC Raulston Arboretum]] at NC State hosts free Zoom classes on topics from highlighted species to monthly garden maintenance check lists.
+That makes him a great resource for SC gardeners as our growing conditions are similar.
+Lots of "no-frills" practical gardening advice and a large catalog of in-depth videos.
+He has another channel for highlighting specific plants called [[https://www.youtube.com/@gardenplantswithjimputnam8653|Garden Plants with Jim Putnam]]
+====MiGardener====
+https://www.youtube.com/@MIgardener
+Located in Michigan, so their growing season is a bit different than ours.
+Good general gardening information and is also runs a seed farm that sells a good variety of quality seed varieties.
+====NC State Homegrown====
+NCSU Extension's YouTube Channel
+https://www.youtube.com/@HomegrownNCStateExtension
+====Clemson Public Service and Agriculture====
+https://www.youtube.com/@clemsonpsa
+====JC Raulston Arboretum====
+https://www.youtube.com/@jcraulstonarb
+The JCRA Youtube channel posts recordings of their free Zoom classes and discussion.
+Highly recommended.
+==== "The Urban Farmer" Curtis Stone ====
+https://www.youtube.com/@offgridcurtisstone
+His early videos on "urban farming" for profit are very informative and his later content is too.
+At some point he started sharing some of his views on politics and society in general.
-====Youtube====
+I felt it took something way from the gardening content.
-Be careful with Youtube, many of the channels you see are simply there to shill a product to you, make entertainment with no substance or portray themselves as experts.
+That said, I'd still recommend his channel as he does cover a lot of topics thoroughly with practical advice.
-That said, here are some Channels I recommend who creators are more interested in relaying information without a bunch of "fluff"
