Nearly everything a person buys comes with an instruction manual. There are directions on how to put it together, how to operate it and maybe even some safety guidelines.
For Oklahomans who have been hesitant to try gardening because they don’t know how, think of Oklahoma State University Extension as a gardening instruction manual. There are literally hundreds of informational resources available to give novice gardeners step-by-step instructions to growing flowers, fruits and vegetables, trees, grass and more. Plus, the friendly folks at all 77 OSU Extension county offices are more than happy to answer questions and offer advice.
