Title: Guardian "Grow your own" supplement
Post by: caroline7758 on April 06, 2008, 13:11:21
Was about to go back to the newsagent and complain that this was missing from my paper when I saw an apology inside saying it'll be in next week's. Don't suppose it'll tell us much we don't know already, but thought I'd mention it in case anyone else hadn't noticed the apology.

Got one in mine, and the salad and fruit in today's Observer.  Very basic info on fruit and veg - very useful to keep up the allotment in the shed I think as quick reference when needed - I often get up there and remember I should have looked something up in the book before I set off ::) and some interesting articles.

got mine too - some interesting interesting e-mail address's for seed suppliers i thought. But that may be because i am new to veg growing this year and am on learning curve :)

The title that they used was "Growing your own" which just happens to be the title of my own web site.
I was surprised to see that they had featured my web site as one of only 13 sites giving general information on growing fruit and vegetables.
Sadly Allotments4all was not included in the Forum section, but instead there was a rival site. It is much quieter than our site.
However, if the public goes to my web site, there is a clickable link to take you directly to the Allotments4all site.
If aka Dan wants to contact me directly, I can let him have a contact address for one of the writers of the gardening guide.
Apparently they are publishing further gardening guides on May 10 and 11, but no indication what will be in them.
