Gardening Magazines

[Ladygardener]

Perhaps he's hand delivering them and that's why it's so expensive and he can only do some post codes.

[Auricula]

If you want me to order for you, I'd be happy to Ladywitch - then I could send them on to you

[Ladygardener]

It would cost too much really Belladonna Bindweed thanks very much for the offer 'tho. £10.00 then what it would cost to send them here would make them very expensive bare roots. To you and Morticia for trying to help. I will not get annoyed with him any more, it's not worth putting my BP up.

[Auricula]

I think they do it because it takes longer for parcels to get "offshore" and they have to send them by courier, or the plants might die whilst waiting for a plane or boat.........................at least that's what I heard from a friend on the Isles of Scilly i221.photobucket.com/albums/dd161/GWDAdmin1/Smilies/Default/undecided.gif

[Ladygardener]

Thanks for the hugsw Belladonna Bindweed. At least that's one explanation. Plants and things sent by you folk always reach me withing 2 days or so 'tho. I'm not going to think about it any more. ;D

[Ladygardener]

Just wanted to say what good articles Pam and Louise had in this weeks Garden News. I'm only got round to looking at it last night when the girls all left. I know I've said it before but well done again on winning 1st with your greenhouse Pam. ;D

Does anyone else get Gardens Illustrated? There's an article on hellebores in this month's issue - there's some very pretty hellebores about!

[Jasmine]

Is anyone else thinking of ordering the Acer Orange Dream from last week's AG. I quite like the look of it and although it's small - it's in a 9cm pot - I can't find it cheaper on Ebay.
I guess it's from T&M too so it could be anything but an Acer!
Decisions, decisions! ;D

Jas, they have Acer Orange Dream at Parkers for £13.99 each and with discount code GWP20 it's 20% off. Doesn't say what size they are though.

[Rosefriend]

I have Acer orange Dream and it is a nice looking acer but very unruly and you have to prune it into some kind of shape Jasmine...

I paid 6.95 Euro for mine 3 years ago!!

[Auricula]

I was tempted Jas, but the size of the pot and the fact that I'm a non-buying saved me from the temptation ;D

[Jasmine]

Thanks for the link PJ and for the advice RF.
Non-buying Auricula How long is this for?

[Ladygardener]

I've yet again had no delivery of my Gardening News this week. That makes either 3 or 4 different times now that I did'nt recieve my copy.

[Amber]

Thats a shame LG....their distributors should be back on track now after the hols. If you contact GN they should give you "free weeks" for the editions you don't get. They can then chase up the distributors.

I should be sending you some "The Garden" very soon i221.photobucket.com/albums/dd161/GWDAdmin1/Smilies/Default/grin.gif

[Ladygardener]

That'll be great Amber thanks as always. I did get in touch with them and they apologised but did'nt offer to resend or give me an extra copy at the end of my subscription. I then emailed them again saying a simple apology was'nt enough as I'd paid for a copy I did'nt recieve. I then got another email from a different person who said they'd resend a copy of last weeks.

[Jasmine]

Can you get it from your local supermarket when the subscription finishes LG. It's quite hard to find here though - is it the same where you are?

[Ladygardener]

Yes there's a place in town where I can get it but I would'nt be in town every weeek Jasmine. I might just renew my subscription as I do enjoy it, especially now that spring is coming.

[Ladygardener]

I got yet another email saying they'd send me another copy at the end of my subscription.

[Jasmine]

Are you keeping a check of how many they owe you LG? Just in case they 'forget'.

[Ladygardener]

They eventually sent me written confirmation a while ago and now I've one more to add to that. I think it makes 3 issues. I'm still more than likely to take out another subscription with them 'tho as I enjoy the paper.

[Auricula]

I haven't got my Gardener's World or my The Garden yet this month....I had my English Garden about 10 days ago

[Jasmine]

I got my GW yesterday. It's on it's way down to the pointy bit Auricula!

[Auricula]

Thanks Jas

[Jasmine]

Got too carried away with my ' back there! ;D

I reckon it's got to Exeter Auricula!
Noticed it doesn't go on sale in the shops til Wednesday (Bonnie's 3rd birthday!)

[Auricula]

Bless her heart -doesn't time fly?
I still always read Alan T's page first ;D

[Jasmine]

I was thinking just the same thing Auricula - back to a little puppy in snow up to her doggie arm pits! ;D

I have to read a magazine in order unless there's snowdrops or daffodils involved then I cheat! ;D

[Jasmine]

Have you got your mags yet Auricula?
I got my RHS magazine today and there's an article on snowdrops in it. I'm off for a soak and a read!

[Ladygardener]

I got my GW mag on monday and my GN on time this week too. Lots of reading to do, there are loads of tips from growers in the GN.
