Can you recommend a helpful blog for a novice gardener?

I am looking for a blog or other on-line community that will help me take control of my pitiful garden. I am relatively new to gardening and am getting discouraged as the things I plant fail to bloom or get sickly. I would love a site that offers a simple monthly gardening to-do list, as well as resources to help me figure out what to plant, where to plant it, and how to care for it so that it doesn’t die right away (dang it!).

I should note that I don’t have hours every day to spend in my garden, so something geared towards gardeners with only a couple hours here and there would be helpful too.
