things to learn

Anyone know how to plan/plant/maintain multi leveled, diverse traditional (aka what's now called "organic"), gardens? Know how to quilt? Know to play steel guitar? Know how to bake bread (in a bread baker machine- hand-me-down from a friend)? Know how to hook rugs?

These are the things I'm learning this spring. I could use any insight/lists of recommended resources you can give. I don't want to have to take a class. I rely on libraries and people and thrift stores for information and supplies, respectively. I'm still in the preliminary stages (procuring necessary supplies and information- no experimentation yet). I've already borrowed the following books for guidance:

Quilts / Denyse Schmidt

Food Not Lawns / H.C. Flores

The Revolution Will Not Be Microwaved / Sandor Ellix Katz

Please, please, please help. I know nothing.

Oh, and I'm still sick so if anyone knows how to get better, that'd help too.
