More than a decade ago Andrew Davidson and Niall McAllister moved their families to the Irish countryside to plant new roots, figuratively (in new homes) and literally (as they each started small produce and livestock farms). Now the duo is on a mission to share what they learned about gardening through Quickcrop. While the organization is, in part, a for-profit business selling everything from garden beds to garden bulbs, the Quickcrop Blog is entirely free and full of incredible insights. Posts are sorted into categories by topic, including: Beginner's Section, Garden Projects, and Growing Tutorials. These categories are flagged in an orange box next to each post listing, allowing readers to sift through the plethora of articles quickly. The blog is frequently updated, usually with a new post every week. Recent entries discuss growing techniques for carrots and tomatoes (see the May 5, 2020 and May 14, 2020 posts) and how to have a successful garden from your windowsill (see the May 8, 2020 post). If you are more of a visual or auditory learner, you may enjoy the Quickcrop YouTube channel, which features video tutorials covering how to grow a variety of crops. You can find all of these videos on the Learn page (accessible after clicking the Quickcrop Home tab) under Plant Videos A-Z, or by scrolling to the bottom of the home page and selecting the "Video Tutorials" link under the Learning heading.
