Hi all,

I'm just curious as to how many folks see value in subscribing to
gardening magazines.

Subscribe? hardly worth it!
Visit the local library and thumb through them a better value.
Organic gardening is pretty much empty, Mother Earth News went yuppie
or lawyer 20 years ago. Even Scientific American has been dumbed down.
Taunton Press puts out a magazine called "Fine Gardening" I would give
as a gift but read for myself at the public library.

my sentiments also. some are very pretty and i like to see the pics,
but not enough to sub and have stacks of mags to store!! a Cherokee
friend was written up regarding her herb garden and her pic was on the
front with all the plants surrounding her.. but it was all actually a
montague and the garden was nothing like the photo!!! it did look
good; looked for real; pretty but misleading. not realistic. she is a
good herb gardner, but it was a lot of fake.
i have read a lot of literature in past years, but have really learned
more from you regulars y lurking this NG than anywhere else. Thanks to
you all.
love...granny lee(leona). oh hey! i was 75 9-1-03 and all my children
and grands and great grands came to see me into the 76th year! one
time i told my doctor that i didn't really like to spend so much time
sleeping... at 8 hours a day i would have spent 25 years sleeping by
the time i was 75... he told me i wouldn't get to 75 if i didn't sleep
the 25.... fooled him! i have reached it on about 5 hrs nightly
average which i think is about 18 years of sleep for 75 years!!..
beat his estimate by about 8 years!!! ya-nanny..ya ya !!!!!!
hehehehe!!!!
