Nicola O Posted June 11, 2007 Share Posted June 11, 2007 Last week I bought a copy of a new gardening mag called 'Let's Grow Veg'. It was quite pricey - £8.99 - but it seems to be a seasonal mag rather than a monthly one as it just said 'spring 2007'. It was over 60 pages long, very informative and came with a free wall chart showing sowing, planting out and harvesting dates for lots of different veg, a DVD (i'm not sure what of as I've not watched it yet), a packet of plant labels and about ten packets of seeds . The best bit was the last page - an article on keeping hens, which recomended ex-battery hens as the perfect pet and talked about the pleasure in looking after them and watching them return to full health - it even had the number of the BHWT at the end. Excellent . Nicola. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted June 11, 2007 Share Posted June 11, 2007 I bought that about a month ago Nicola It is really good, I only bought it really for the seeds, there were a couple of things I had forgotten to buy and so I reasoned that I might as well buy the mag instead of the seperate packets of seeds Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Charlottechicken Posted June 11, 2007 Share Posted June 11, 2007 Sounds interesting Nicola, what types of seeds were with the mag? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ali-s Posted June 11, 2007 Share Posted June 11, 2007 I bought a copy as well. Most of the seeds I will save until next year. I like the coloured seed labels The DVD of the Pennine garden was a bit too long to watch all the way through and I thought it was quite boring.
