chickenpatty Posted February 16, 2011 Share Posted February 16, 2011 One that focuses more on growing fruits & veggies rather than flowers? Maybe even one that caters to farmer's market growers? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MBM Posted February 16, 2011 Share Posted February 16, 2011 Organic Gardening Mother Earth News My personal favorite is Fine Gardening, but that caters more to flowers and landscaping. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Renthead Mommy Posted February 16, 2011 Share Posted February 16, 2011 :lurk5: I'd love to know this too! The magazines all seem to focus on flowers. The only flowers I've ever grown are sunflowers (granted I grew close to 100 of them across a back fence that backed up to a well traveled road, so it was an impressive sight) but I don't do flowers! I do veggies! I want rewards for all my work! And flowers don't really do that for me. Tomatoes and veggies do! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Slartibartfast Posted February 16, 2011 Share Posted February 16, 2011 I subscribe to Mother Earth News, it has all sorts of useful articles. I would recommend it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GoVanGogh Posted February 16, 2011 Share Posted February 16, 2011 I love Mother Earth News! (Would give it as a gift and would love it as a gift.) I'm not a big fan of Organic Gardening, as much of their information does not apply to the south. I think of them as more of a 'regional' magazine. Two new mags that I enjoy - mainly because they are new and fresh but certainly not loaded with garden information - are: Urban Farm Mary Jane's Farm If you want a book suggestion - This Organic Life by Joann Dye Gussow is wonderful! It is a very realistic look at the challenges (and joys) of veggie gardening. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mama2Boys Posted February 16, 2011 Share Posted February 16, 2011 I like Fine Gardening. The photography is beautiful and full of educational gardening help. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slartibartfast Posted February 16, 2011 Share Posted February 16, 2011 FWIW Mother Earth News also has articles/instructions for useful projects like how to make a brick oven for your patio, how to build compost bins...things like that. It's pretty fun. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chickenpatty Posted February 17, 2011 Author Share Posted February 17, 2011 Thanks, all, for your input. Mother Earth does look good and I have enough swagbucks to get a subscription for free on amazon! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
