9 Gardening Resources from Plant One More
At Kelly's Kitchen, we talk a lot about growing your own food. This roundup pulls together nine resources from our Patreon about gardening — from getting started to keeping your harvest going all summer. For a richer experience, visit Patreon and support us by joining a paid tier.
A lot of that growing happens through Plant One More, our national gardening and produce donation program: grow one extra fruit or vegetable and share the harvest with your community. This year we partnered with the Utopian Seed Project to bring twelve heirloom varieties to Food Security Network sites.
If you picked up seeds from one of our seed libraries, start with the 2026 Plant One More Seed Guide. It covers how to grow, harvest, and save the Utopian Seed Project varieties we put in people's hands this year.
Never gardened before? How to Start Your Garden walks you through the basics. No experience required, just a willingness to get your hands dirty.
Once your seedlings are up, you'll have to thin them. It feels wrong every time. Thinning Seedlings explains why you do it anyway and how.
Then comes the part nobody loves. Weeding breaks down a few different methods so you can find one that fits your yard and your patience.
No yard? Container Gardening and Self-Watering Systems is for anyone working with pots and porches instead of raised beds. That's most of us.
When your tomatoes get tall and start flopping over, Physical Supports for Plants covers stakes, cages, and trellises before you lose the harvest to the ground.
Composting turns your kitchen scraps into next year's soil, and it's a lot less complicated than people think.
Once the harvest actually comes in, How to Use Your Summer Harvest has ideas for what to do with all of it before it goes bad on your counter.
And to keep from losing track of any of it, the Summer Gardening Checklist is your to-do list for late summer.
That's the library so far. We'll keep adding to it as the season goes. Come find it on our Patreon!
