In addition to the articles provided here, the digital facsimiles of the manuscripts compiled by Thomas Jefferson throughout his lifetime - his Farm Book and his Garden book - are two excellent sources of information regarding his interests in farming, botany, gardening and agriculture. These documents, owned by the Massachusetts Historical Society, have been transcribed and the entire contents are keyword searchable along with excellent quality digital facsimiles of the manuscript pages.
