extension offices and plant ID tools that replaced random gardening forums

the ones with actual zone 8b data, not generic national advice with my zip code slapped on.

Statewide hub, links out to every county program. Start here before searching county by county.

Community IDs are usually right within a day, occassionally embarrassingly fast.

Better than Seek for weeds specifically, worse for garden vegetables. I use both.

UK climate, not ours, but the soil logic transfers fine.

The plant clinic hotline at my county extension office

No app, no website worth linking, just a person on the phone who's seen your exact problem before. Beats every forum thread.
