What gardening magazines do you buy?

I was wandering around my local WH Smiths today and picked up Kitchen Garden magazine.

It seemed quite good actually, (well for a newbie like me)

So, what if anything do you buy and why?

Thanks Munty,

Grow your own looks very interesting on their web site.

I may have to get myself a copy..

Any that I can get my hands on when I have a few pennies to spare, but Grow your Own and Kitchen Garden are not bad, and you used to get a free packet of seeds, don't know if you still do!!!

looks like it'll be 'grow your own"' then!

I subscribe to Kitchen Garden and you get a free packet of T & M cucumber seeds this month.

Used to have kitchen garden when it first came out, but don't bother with any now, they all seem a bit samey after a while and get more clogged up with ads the more popular they get.

I have Kitchen Garden,Gardners World and Organic Gardening all on subscription from relatives as presies.We did let GW lapse last year and they phoned to offer a hugh discount for 2 yrs(£48 I think)so we couldn`t say no.We are trying the same with Kitchen Garden just to see.For GW I pass them on freecycle once a year where they atre snapped up and someone ealse gets to enjoy them.

Mum gets Gardeners World and passes it on to me.
I get Kitchen Garden usually. It wasn't in stock yesterday so I bought GYO instead. It's ok but I prefer KG one.

My favourite is Organic Gardening but not always that easy to find and have never got around to subscribing. Far less glossy and down to earth than the other mags.I also like Grow Your Own (their website is also quite good and includes a forum - although it goes without saying that this one is far superior). I like how the mag summerises things which is ideal for me because I can cut it out and put it into my diary.

OG has been bought by the same people who own KG,same team but we`ll see...

From someone who knows nothing and has a thurst for all information, especially from other veg growers I have read copies of both Grow Your Own and Kitchen Gardener.

I really liked bloth of them and for the first time ever I read from cover to cover even the classifieds at the back. I've told my children that a subscription would be a great Mothers Day present.

Gardener's World is good, but as with all mags, it's choc full of adverts. About half of it is full page ads - grrr!! :x
