Re: Magazines

There are a lot of gardening magazines out there, most of which I buy at
the newstand because they have one, two, maybe three articles I'm
interested in. Horticulture I still subscribe to, although I find it blows
hot and cold. One month every article has something of interest, other
months, nada.

But over the years, there are only three that I subscribe to and KEEP for
their value as a contining resource.three magazines I read cover to
cover..Fine Gardening is one, of course. Then there's it's sister pub,
Kitchen Garden, also high quality. Only flaw is too many recipes!

My third is a regional publication that I find invaluable. Carolina
Gardener is a magazine that has info for not only the Carolinas, but also
the whole Southeast. And an added bonus is that they sponsor an annual
Gardening Symposium, with Garden and nursery tours, and guest speakers.
Previous locations have been Greensboro, NC, Asheville, Charleston, and
this year it's in Richmond VA. If you live anywhere in the Southeast I
highly recommend it. The magazine also has a lot of nursery ads from small
nurseries that never make it into the national mags (Harry, are you
listening? This might be a good place for you to advertise).

Does anyone subscribe to Alan Lacy's Homeground? Is it worth it? He's one
of my favorite garden writers (second only to the late Henry Mitchell), but
for some reason I've never tried the magazine.
