Re: magazine

I liked the way Horticulture tried to keep it fresh.. The HortJournal entries were about the newest scientific finds. Dan Hinkley's spotlight was on little known plants. The biography was almost always about someone in the industry, that I knew little about.

It does have articles about plants for our area and climate, so .... but like any other magazine, it gets to be the same old thing. It was one of the few that had articles about native plants tho. I have known Bill and Carolyn for years, great down to earth folks who also supported local plant groups too.
They used to have the calendar of events on line. That was always nice to see who has what schedules when you have some free time and looking for somewhere 
to go.

I've been thinking the same, plus, the stuff that really interests me,
I can't do here! Does anyone on the list get Chicagoland Gardening (is
that the title?)? I thought I might try it, though its probably filled
with ads for local places I'll never get to explore or use...

That's mostly the way I feel about it, too. Even a magazine like
Organic Gardening, which I found riveting when I first discovered it
and knew nothing about organic gardening, begins to pall in a couple
of years--how many articles about compost can you read before your
eyes begin to glaze over, after all. For me, that's the problem; the
magazines seem to get in a rut, articles about the same-old, same-
old over and over. Every now and then, they have a piece about new
introductions or All-American selections, but these tend to be much
better covered in the specialty newsletters and journals and, even,
the Thursday gardening page of the local paper.

I have to admit that when I received an offer for this magazine, I



just to
accept to check it out.  Ultimately cancelled the subscription,
but the
couple of copies we did receive were fairly interesting.  It did
appear to
be geared to the South with a mix of hunting, gardening, and

locale

articles.  It was well done, but not enough gardening to warrant
continue
receiving it for us.

Interesting concept.  I'm an avid gardener and a life member

of

the NRA.
We're not all right wing nuts, y'know?  Remember that

Charleton

Heston was
among the first big people in Hollywood to support the Civil
Rights movement
in its early days, way before it became popular or fashionable.
He did the
right thing.  And like him, I believe the Second Amendment makes
all the
others possible.  You aren't very free w/out the means to

protect

yourself,
especially women.  But I don't know too many people who feel
passionately
about both topics.

I rarely read magazines, so I just toss any offers I get.

However,

this

one caught my eye:
Garden & Gun

????????????????

House & Garden, Better Homes & Garden - I can

understand.  But

Garden
& Gun? It claims to be the "Soul of the New

South"


Think I'll pass.
