I am a regular reader of Amateur Gardening, in fact I hardly ever miss an issue. It is published every tuesday and costs £1.10 and more often than not comes with one or two FREE packet of seeds which always cost more than the magazine itself. It is packed full of useful hints and tips, full length articles by famous gardeners such as Charlie Dimmock, Bob Flowerdew and Peter Seabrook and many others. There is a postbag where you can send in letters and a helpline that you can email, write, phone or fax to get answers to various problems. Regular articles include Whats new, Pestwatch, This week in your garden, Readers garden and Anne Swithinbank's garden diary. It is full of information pertaining to anything you can grow from flowers, vegetables, fruits, unusual plants and interesting new varieties. The picture content is very professional with beautiful full size photographs of plants and gardens, there is also occasionally pictures of bugs and things which damage plants, very helpful if you want to know what is eating your garden and how to stop them. I know my garden would not look quite as good as it does without the help of Anateur Gardening, so if you have a large plot, small back yard or just a few window boxes, take a look, I am sure you will be pleasantly surprised.
