Thanks for GI & the seeds Jasmine  they were here when I got home. I've been very bad this month & not got on with reading my mags at all, I've just about glanced at GW & Gardening Which, the thing is we're busy at work, so I haven't had my usual couple of hours reading time of an afternoon  . But I will endeavour to get everything read & dispatched by next week. I'll pop a few of the Daucus carota 'Black Knight' seeds in with yours Jas, you've got your own Ammi haven't you, if not I've got some of those spare too. |

My Ammi germinated nicely & then all flopped over  I'm going to sow some more at the weekend now I've got the growhouse back. |

They were in the spare room Jasmine, I didn't want them to get rained on & with the unseasonable warm weather, think they might have got cooked . I'll try again just under cover in the growhouse. |

Oh that's great Jilly, I'll let you know when it arrives. I find that when I'm up really early or in the middle of the night, I enjoy looking back through old gardening magazines. |

Just posted English Garden & Garden Answers Ladygardener & Jasmine, I think this is one of the months when we don't get Gardening Which. |

Thanks Jilly - I'm just working my way through the new GI then I'll get it off to you! I really enjoy Gardening Which - it is one of the most helpful magazines!...and it doesn't have Tamsin Thingy in it so that's another bonus!!!! |

 Very true, GW has got that lovely Bob Brown, much more my sort of thing. |

I think Bob Brown would be a good person to have round for dinner although he can be quite outspoken on certain things. I got in a grump over his comments on kidney shaped flower beds...he obviously doesn't like them at all! |

I love GW there's always lots to read in it and you can find something relevant. I can't see where I thanked you for the last one Jasmine, but I thought I'd written it somewhere. Thanks Jilly, I'll let you know when I get it, I like the little tips people give about achieving similar looks. I think that's EG. I saw Jenny having a look at GW when she was here at the weekend although when I mention magazines to her, she says reading online is much more her thing. |

Funny isn't it as I'd far rather have a paper copy of something whether it be reading for pleasure or work! Younger folk will spend so much time at a screen it will be second nature.

It will for sure Jasmine. Everything is electronic for them, Jenny was talking about having a day when they were'nt allowed to use any at all. I enjoy my garden magazines and books of course too. Thanks for The English Garden Jilly, it arrived this morning. |

Thanks for GI & the Teasle seeds Jasmine, they were here when I got home. Oh btw we have got a Gardening Which this month, must have just been a bit late, they do confuse me with the 10 issues a year, I never know which other months we miss, I know we only get one to cover Jan/Feb, but I'm never sure which is the other one we miss, because I'm sure they do a Christmas one . Anyway I'll get it off next week. |

Glad you got the magazine and seeds Jilly - I meant to post yesterday that I'd posted them but I never got a chance to do it! |

Some great autumn colours in TEG that you sent Jilly. I was reading through it and Gardening Secrets in the early hours. |

They were beautiful weren't they Ladygardener, I do hope you're not awake in the early hours tonight though  |

Thanks Jilly, so do I. Funny thing was, I was chatting to Jenny earlier and she was awake in the night too. She's not a good sleeper either. |

The RHS magazine "The Garden" is very poor this month I thought  After a cracking issue last month I was really looking forward to reading it but I thought it was ( to quote CRH) Dull..Dull..Dull |

I must admit Auricula I often find The Garden a bit dull, especially now we've got this fabulous system that lets me see all the monthly mags  , I do find if there's one left just flicked through at the end of he month it's that one. Considering I hardly ever go to the shows or the open gardens I do think sometimes that I should save the money & cancel my subscription. I really only keep it in case I ever want to go to Chelsea or Hampton Court again & members days are quieter. |

I thought GI was a bit lack lustre this month - I suppose winter magazines are going to be a bit flat |
