The information on the internet is limitless, and there is an abundance of food gardening advice out there. If you are like me, I am so busy I rely on a few trustworthy sources. Here are my favorites:1. For planning your garden try the Garden Planner at http://www.gardeners.com/Kitchen-Garden-Planner/kgp_home,default,pg.html which provides 'maps' of ways to maximize your harvest. Also, http://www.plangarden.com/ offers a unique program that not only helps you plan the layout of your garden, but also track your harvest, seed planting times etc.
2. For a source that helps rate seed catalogs and garden providers, as well as support an active community of gardeners within discussion boards, check out http://www.davesgarden.com/
3. For an overall good source for home gardening information, I really like http://www.kitchengardeners.com/. KGI is a community of over 20,000 people from 100 countries who are growing some of their own food and helping others to do the same, both near and far. Their mission is to empower individuals, families, and communities to achieve greater levels of food self-reliance through the promotion of kitchen gardening, home-cooking, and sustainable local food systems. In doing so, KGI seeks to connect, serve, and expand the global community of people who grow some of their own food.
So enjoy! If you have additional sources you love, please let me know in the comments section!

The founder of KGI lives in my neighborhood, just a couple of houses over from me!
