for 3.99 that gave me free seeds from T&M, two types of courgette, patty pan
and two different pumpkins.
It would have cost me far more to buy the seeds.
I will try them out on the mound that the digger made, but I will insert
some chicken manure in there.

It just shows what robbers T&M really are and the true cost of these
seeds.
I save as many of my own seed as I can.

I am trying courgettes this year, if I can get into the garden that is.

I basically got a free magazine, the cost of the free seeds if I had bought
each separately far exceeded 3.99.
I only tried courgettes once, but they didn't do well in my shady garden at
home. The open aspect of my paddock should suit them far better.
Hope you can soon get on your garden again.

I assume that's Amateur Gardening which if you subscribe is a hell of a
lot cheaper. I enjoy it as (because it's weekly) it's always fairly
relevant, and though it has a lot of stuff for beginners there's always
one or two articles that are in depth stuff and I quite enjoy the 'news'
pages = this week they were talking about the fact that it 'might' be
certain types of chemical sprays that are killing off the queen bees.
Oh well, I like it, I get that, the Which gardening and also The garden
from the RHS and read my friend's very posh glossy English Garden when i
dog sit for her That last one is so over the top and so not of my
world with suggestions for phenomenally expensive art in the garden or
'shabby chic' (huh) ornaments and /or chairs garden seats etc. However
each one has never had NO pages that i find interesting (IYSWIM)

No, it's not Amateur Gardening, it's called "Grow It" I've never seen it
before, and TBH I only bought it for the free seeds that I realised far
exceeded the cost of the magazine, but the reading in it was good too. They
also told you the best way to grow your free seeds and lots of good advice
about courgettes (two varieties in the free seed packet, one long, one
round) I will grow the patty pans too, but might duck the pumpkins.

Pumpkins are not very useful.

Just looked it up on the web (http://growitmag.com) as I'd never heard
of it either. The June issue (which is strangely the supposedly
"current" one) has 2 varieties each of beetroot and carrots and one of
parsnips. There seems to be a 5-variety giveaway with every issue;
astonishingly good value. If there's a downside it's that I find T&M
seeds to be very "variable" when it comes to germination rate.
