Get this book:

https://www.amazon.ca/Calgary-Garden.../dp/1895618673

It's chock full of information. Any of the used bookstores in town should have some available.

Lee Valley has the absolute best gardening tools. I wouldn't buy them anywhere else. I regret all my cheap purchases.

It's a little late to start some things, if you want to try something out that's easy look for "Tumbler" tomatoes. They should already be in a hanging pot, so you just need to water. You can still start lettuce and carrots. Get "Nantes" as the carrot variety, or anything else as long as it's not "Imperator". For lettuce just select what you like.

Just those three things will make you hate all grocery stores
