Our little backyard has no room even for a potager (if i want lawn for kids to run around in that is!) so its some standard raised beds to the side. BUT one day I we might have a sweet country estate, never say never I always say! The chch libraries have a twitter account - if you have one, follow them and ask by "@" them. Or email. They are super friendly and approachable. I have noticed the increase in books and audio books to the south library. They might have a specific library they have all the mags going too. Of course they may have halted subscriptions until they get a new premises - but its worth a try. I go nuts on the knitting and interior magazines at the moment.Simonehttp://www.madehappy.co.nznoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8717193444096849836.post-61868488393972807572011-10-25T02:18:16.108+13:002011-10-25T02:18:16.108+13:00Oh, wow!

Now I know I can do some sort of design - like the leaf design above! (of course, much smaller!) I love getting the creative juices flowing!HolleyGardenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14892421871044249940noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8717193444096849836.post-43959307993001666682011-10-24T17:26:51.543+13:002011-10-24T17:26:51.543+13:00Miriam - I just ordered some honesty seeds, along ...Miriam - I just ordered some honesty seeds, along with a few other "essentials"... there are still plenty of gaps I need to fill!<br /><br />Lyn, thanks for stopping by! You are quite right, it is useful to read a magazine ahead of the coming season, since as gardeners we need to think at least one season in advance!Ruth @ Camellia Rosehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17129384344777788376noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8717193444096849836.post-52363079829100029972011-10-24T13:53:29.708+13:002011-10-24T13:53:29.708+13:00Hi Ruth, I found you through Blotanical. Ah yes, t...Hi Ruth, I found you through Blotanical. Ah yes, the International Gardening Magazine addiction, I know it well. My favourite is "The English Garden", although I have to admit, that leaf-shaped potager beats everything! There is an advantage in getting magazines in the wrong season though. I buy and read them for future inspiration, then put them away and read them again 3 or 4 months later, in the right season (and often again a year or 2 later).Lynhttp://theamateurweeder.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8717193444096849836.post-62043912777749400992011-10-23T22:06:19.323+13:002011-10-23T22:06:19.323+13:00Once you have honesty, you will always have it. I ...Once you have honesty, you will always have it. I mulched the fruit trees one year with the dried seed heads and have never looked back. It is flowering right now with a purple flower that complements the poor mans rose yellow. It's easy enough to pull out if you have too much. I love those english gardens,from small to very large. Nothing like fresh inspiration.miriamnoreply@blogger.com
