Here are some of my favorite:

[Aggie Horticulture](http://aggie-horticulture.tamu.edu/)

[Garden Watchdog](http://gardenwatchdog.com/)

[Raingardens](http://www.raingardens.com/sitemap.htm)

[Tropical Plants Library](http://www.mgonline.com/)

[Gardener’s Corner](http://www.gardenerscorner.com/index.html)

Also, do a search for Master Gardener in your state/county. Many of them have super web sites specific to your climate.

I agree with **Artemis**. Pick a topic, and learn from the experts. (The tomato forum is particularly amazing. The world’s greatest expert on heirloom tomatoes posts daily.)

Thank you.

Oh, I have no trouble finding gardening sites (I think they outnumber porn sites), but so many are no good, or primarily commercial.

I KNOW they must outnumber porn sites.
