[GWL]: Is garden reading seasonal?

Garden magazine and book publishers generally assume that people are 
most likely to read about gardening during the season when they are 
actually doing it.  However, I do the opposite.  During the spring, 
summer, and fall, I'm much too busy gardening to read about it.  If I 
don't know it by then, it's too late for that season. My garden 
magazines accumulate unread.  For me,it is completely beside the point 
that the magazines try to focus on subjects relevant to the month in 
which they come out, since I don't read any of the articles until 
winter. I may buy gardening books whenever I hear about them or see a 
review, but I don't actually read the books until winter.  The only 
gardening info I'm likely to read during the gardening season is the 
gardening section of my local newspapers.    

Do most gardeners do their reading about gardening and their gardening 
concurrently?  Or do most do their gardening and their reading about 
gardening in different seasons?
