Where to go to get local information

Someday I hope to write a gardening website that gives awesome local information.  One that helps you plan your garden, ask and answer Q&A, swap seeds, etc.  Someday :).  Until that point, where do you find local information?

http://extension.missouri.edu/main/DisplayCategory.aspx?C=67

That's where :).  There are several forums, some good and some spammy, but the local extension of the department of agriculture, at least for missouri, is an awesome resource.  That link above is for Vegetable gardening, and right at the beginning there is a link for a vegetable calendar.

Here's the pdf

This pdf is 8 pages, and extremely awesome :).  If you don't look at anything else, this is where to start.  It basically just goes through every vegetable that people normally plant, it shows which varieties do best in missouri, and what the average plant dates should be.  Very very excellent way to "just plant a garden".

If you don't live in missouri, sorry I have no links for you.  But look up your local extension and it should have plenty of information for you.  Also there is always a place you can call to get more info.
