Depends what you want it for - GYO has a lot of photos in as well as more recipes than the other gardening ones, Kitchen Garden goes into a bit more depth, and for an organic slant - Organic Gardening Mag.

Forgot to add that there are a few threads on the GYO magazine:

Havent seen, GYO yet will order it from work, but I have a subscription to Kitchen Garden and I think its great, especially the bit about the hens, as I am going to get hens on my Lottie,The girl 3 plots down has hens and a cockeral, Its something I have wanted for years.I had hens several years ago, and once you`ve had them,you will always want them again. :)

hi there
what a weekend for the lottie
i get the kitchen gardener when i can
lots of goiod stuff

[redimp]

Did not get much done this weekend - earthed up some potatoes and a bit of digging.  Had too many family things (barbie today).  Did meet Kitty at an allotment sale though.  :)

I do not subscribe to anything - I bought two books - Dr Hassayon's Vegetable Expert and, because he said throw chemicals at everything, Geof Hamilton's Organic Gardener.  I then just used the inernet - http://www.gardenaction.co.uk/ and http://www.keirg.freeserve.co.uk/diary/default.html were both very useful.   Others specific to you are picked up along the way.  Its a steep learning curve but enthusiasm helps.

You've got a thingyeral? lol. GYO has a bit more on smallholding stuff than Kitchen Garden mag.

I prefer Cosmo-  EJ!

redclanger - I had Sindy.

Never try to type and hold a conversation with a moping teenager, she has`nt got a thingyeral, but she does have a cockeral.

[discovery]

cockeral

[discovery]

Every time I type in the name for a male chicken,the word cockeral comes up, so i will call it a rooster.

[sarahr]

Yes there is some sort of filter that prevents you from posting the word thingy.  ;D begins with c and ends with a k

[northener]

Have you lot been eating Mushrooms?

[Tulipa]

I bought a Grow Your Own Magazine on Thursday, sowed the Butternut Swash seeds that day and the first shoots came through yesterday (Sunday)  I am most impressed!

[Robert_Brenchley]

To post the word 'cockerel', highlight part of the word between the initial C and the K, and press the red A to the right of the row of BBC tags above the space where you type. Ignore what comes up and post it.

[Roy Bham UK]

cockeral Mm! that's clever, where did you learn that ??? 8)

[Robert_Brenchley]

I help to moderate an ancient coin board which uses the same software, so I've had time to pick a few things up.
