Magazine Review
I came across a new magazine the other week. I can highly recommend The Edible Garden magazine (I think the garden is edible, not the magazine). I am pretty sure this is a fairly new magazine, this Autumn and Winter issue was only issue 2. The next issue, Spring is due out in March. This is quite a big, heavy, glossy magazine at a pricey £4.99 per issue, but I can easily see it being picked up and read over and over again throughout the season.This issue has a review of several kitchen gardens like West Dean, Heligan and Knightshayes in Devon which are open to visitors, a lovely article about crop rotation, growing pumpkins, quince and beekeeping, as well as a wonderfully illustrated article about the magical world of forcing rhubarb at Janet Oldroyd's Yorkshire Rhubarb company.
Treat yourself to a copy of this magazine, see if you think it is worth £4.99. I do!

We'll have to take a look - interestingly we've visited Heligan and Knightshayes and live next door almost to Oldroyd's Farm. It's amazing what a celebrity she has become as when I was a child her family was just one of those growing rhubarb - nothing special.
Looks a lovely magazine...guess I better stick to learning how to container garden in Florida.
Not heard of that one, I'll be taking a look.
I've seen it advertised in 'The English Garden' magazine - was tempted, but really, really, really... shouldn't be buying any more magazines!!
Looks interesting. What free seeds did you get?
I haven't heard of this magazine. I'm trying to curtail my spending on magazines, I've spent far too much on them in the past, so I'll try to resist for now.
Rachael - free seeds were chocolate cherry tomatoes! I love these!
Hi Matron, I don't mind paying for a magazine as long as there is something in it other than ads. The only problem I would have with it is that I'm trying to wean Tess off magazines, the last thing I need is for her to see one that actually states its edible. By the way thanks for the video of the blind dog, it's amazing.
Ooooh! I'll look out for it :-)
New to veggie growing, I need all the help I can get so may have a look at this magazine.
I noticed that magazine in the shop this week (it didn't click with me that it was a new mag); I picked it up and almost bought it, but I'm trying not to buy things at the minute so in the end I put it back. Now I wish I'd bought it!
Big sigh....I wish, I wish I could get the same wonderful gardening magazines over the pond. Well, I can, but the cost is proibitive. When I visited England I scooped up every gardening magazine I could fine :-)
