Re: Favorite magazines?/ground hogs

hey gang,

Ok Chris,  Just 2 huh! Nope, I'll tell you my tops and the ones that will
lapse if they don't improve soon.

1. Green Prints.  More a why we garden than a how to garden.  Always well
written, often lyrical, and the articles can inspire laughter and tears.
But I must admit that I would prefer a little less Mike McGarth. The one
magazine that I will submit an article - about gardening with baby and
toddler.  This is the one I'll NEVER let lapse.  I'd sooner not buy any
daylilies.

2. A slightly tougher choice, but I'll go with People Plants and Places -
based in Maine, but targeting the northeast.  Articles are consistently
good to excellent and very little repeat on subject matter.

3. Country Living Gardener - best name garden writers (Susan Wittig Albert,
Cassandra Danz and Susan Lovejoy) and useful articles.  Always has a
gardening with children article.

These have lapsed or will lapse
Garden Design - sorry, I don't need a $50 pair of pants to garden in
Horticulture - too much British influence, lovely to look at but won't do
here  in the frozen north. 80% of the articles deal with stuff that isn't
hardy in Zone 5 (Boston, MA) home of Horticulture.
Fine Gardening - too uneven these days.

I am looking forward to reading everyone elses choices.

PAUL (Meum71@aol.com)  Tell me more about Plants - always on the looking
for something new to read. And yes ground hogs are the creatures from hell
in the garden, but you've never seen my son (age 9 and 4'9") go chasing one
across the lawn in his underwear - The hog damage is almost worth it


>P.S.  Hey, stop talking about woody plants!  ;)
Hey it did get the conversation going again. The grasses list I am on is
DEAD and the daylily list is polls and rust - boring. And I got some neat
ideas from it.

Cheryl
