I got mine today too, I had to google to see what was so special about Gro-sure. They're colour coated so they can be seen better, some have a fungiside on them. Here is something to read about them. www.gro-sure.co.uk/gro-sure/ I'm looking forward to reading the mag this month. ;D |

I didn't realise GW subscribers were now getting a slightly different magazine with lots of offers and discounts!

I did'nt realise the magazine was different either. I wonder will they send out a range of the Gro-sure vegetables and ask us how they perform.  |

It's always a bit different, and often ( as this month) very different. They say it is to make sure the subscribers get value for their loyalty. Bit late with their sweet peas I thought, but I'm sure I'll find a spot |

I thought the same thing but I'll most likely keep them until October and sow them for next year. |

You could send them to me. It is still very much in time for this season here. I wouldn't have to wait until next season, to be sure. ;D

Has anyone else got their RHS The Garden? The article on wisteria was interesting. I didn't realise wisteria could be trained to grow like a tree.

How long have you had it Auricula? Didn't it say that they can take 5 - 7 years to flower And if they don't get watered enough they won't flower either |

When I subscribed to GW and I'm going back at least 10 years,it always had extra bit and special offers come with it for subscribers. I packed up my RHS membership so don't get thier mag anymore  |

Do you miss it Chuckles?
I think it comes every month - I lose track - and at £4 something or other it is quite a bit of the membership...and it's different to GW and so on. I like it.

Yes and no Jasmine. I'm a bit of a flick through mags sort of person and its finding the time to sit and read tbo. I've got a stack that I haven't even opened, still in the poly wrapping  What I have started doing though is taking a few up the garden and when I stop for a T break I have a little browse. |

Ooh aren't you good Chuckles  I rip mine open as soon as they arrive ;D I have one weekly and 3 monthly ones delivered on subscription and am thinking of adding a 4th!! I like the RHS one as it's a bit different, and I feel I'm getting my moeneysworth from the subscription as I can't get to many RHS events |

I rip mine open too - I always read before I go to sleep - unless I fall asleep and wake up with the mag over my face! ;D Wisteria grown from seed can take up 20 years to flower - grown on rootstock 3 -5 years I read last night  |

...and something interesting - clems may need up to 2 years to get going properly.

I've foresworn clematis - more trouble than they are worth |

They're gorgeous when they get going - I just find is so disappointing when they flop for no apparent reason.

There's a sneaky peek at some of the Chelsea gardens in this months Gardens Illustrated - wish I'd got tickets now. Definitely going to go next year.

I might go next year jasmine...perhaps we could meet up Must buy Garden's Illustrated |

Post by Jasmine on Apr 21, 2011 9:52:06 GMT
That would be nice - we could go on Monday or Tuesday which are the RHS members days - they're sold out this year according to the mag except for the 5.30 to 8 tickets on Tuesday.

I was wondering if you'd like to come too Jilly as we'd talked about it last year.

Would three be a crowd
