Location of garden articles in newspapers

If gardening is America's leading leisure activity, why is it hard to find 
the garden articles in US newspapers? I notice a great difference in where in 
a paper they're printed and whether or not Gardening or Home and Garden is 
even a section, let alone mentioned as a category in the guide or index. 

I never have a problem finding the garden section in UK papers, but I have a 
problem right now with the New York Times Sunday edition. The paper is in 
front of me and I still can't find it (no comments about eyeglasses or 
Saturday night parties please, maybe my copy is defective!). On the web site 
I found Lee Reich's article on weedless gardening dated 3/3/02. I assume an 
article of this nature and by this author would be printed in the New England 
edition (I live in Boston). Regional editions can differ so if there are no 
New England readers on the list can someone at least point me to the right 
section?

So, now I'm also very interested in finding out out which US newspapers 
regularly publish separate garden sections? Is it more likely to be driven by 
advertising or perceived reader interest (is this the same thing?)? Are there 
any newspapers with full time "garden editors"? 

Thanks.
