I see a lot of guides around the solar punk community for how to do specific things with your gardens. Which is great! Unless you're a total gardening noob like me, to the point you're not even sure if guides you find are ligit or trying to sell you crap you don't need.
In short, have any super beginner basics guides that you can reccomend? Online is preferable but I should be able to track down a few books if needed.
I want to preface this by saying if this doesn't actually answer your question, please feel free to reply or send in another ask for more clarification!
That said, this is a difficult question to answer because you're going to need different advice depending on your situation and location, how much space you have, and what you want out of your garden (a polinator garden is going to need different advice than a perrenial garden or a garden to grow edible things without your HOA catching on, for example). Some people get really into soil composition, nitrogen ratios, companion planting, and such, but all it really takes to make a garden is obtaining some seeds, throwing them at the ground (or in a pot of dirt), and seeing what happens.
If you are an absolute beginner, I would definitely recommend doing that. Find some seeds, plant them, water them if needed, and observe. In my experience, observing the plants growing is a great way to figure out where your knowledge is lacking - I've done some of my most productive googling trying to figure out why my plant is doing something.
And now, a list of my favorite internet spaces to poke around for reliable gardening advice:
Food Not Lawns by Heather Jo Flores - Putting this at the top because this is where I recommend you start. This is a book, but if you don't want to track down a physical copy you can read it online at the price of subscribing to Heather Jo Flores' email list. 100% worth it in my opinion.
Farmers' Almanac - Great guides for growing specific plants, and good non-specific gardening advice, although sometimes too general to be much use. I mainly use this to find frost dates and recommended planting times for my area.
Morning Chores - A homesteading blog with a metric ton of articles, some more useful than others. Go to their "Gardening" tab and only read what looks interesting/relevant to avoid getting overwhelmed.
Permies forums - This is now my first stop when I have gardening questions. It's a collection of forums with years worth of discussion between permaculture enthusiasts, and you'll probably find the Gardening for Beginners forum helpful at the start. Some of the people are a little weird, but all the gardening advice is good and it's a great place to ask questions and get advice.
Free Permaculture Online Course - Completely free 52-week permaculture course from Heather Jo Flores, founder of the Food Not Lawns movement. Also covers some permaculture topics that aren't specifically gardening, but it's a great learning resource and I highly recommend it.
Your local Food Not Lawns group - I found mine by searching "Food Not Lawns (my city)" on Facebook. Some of them have websites. If you have one somewhere nearby, they're great to ask questions, connect with gardeners and people with a similar ethos in your area, and ask questions and get answers from people who have experience with the conditions of where you live.
