Winter in the garden means pruning, planting bare-root trees and shrubs, but above all, planning what you're going to grow in the following year, so it's a time when you need a lot of information on plants that you've not grown before and what their requirements are.

Thanks Well, that rather depends on what you're interested in! Winter in the garden means pruning, planting bare-root trees and shrubs, but above all, planning what you're going to grow in the following year, so it's a time when you need a lot of information on plants that you've not grown before and what their requirements are. Yes, planning for the following year is, for me, one of the things I enjoy during the winter. Mags, paper or online, give me lots of ideas but ohhhh the advertising in them makes my colon twitch. Much of it is not even closely related to the title of the many mags I used to buy. For example I used to buy 2 or 3 angling mags per month and the last ones I bought all had a 2 page spread on the world of leather closing down sale. The same spread with burgers, get one free. buy a bargain bucket etc. etc. etc. 25% topic 75% advertisements. IMO mags are a waste of money unless you need to know these things or can tolerate advertising at the front of your face, and are willing to pay for these priviledges. Of course not all mags are like this, but ALL the ones I have seen are. A bit negative, I know. Baz |

Thanks I think at £51 for a years subscription I'd go for it. I preferred it in it's old format, but I consider it to be the most practical of the Mags/papers on the market |
