A lot of magazines have recipes for vegetables and herbs, but none of them tell you how to grow them
Thanks for the magazine information! Will you be publishing a magazine next…??🤞
The quantity of advertising wouls not be so upsetting if only it too, was garden-centric. Dont need my reading littered with ads for jewelry, furniture, and expensive cars when I could possibly see garden aprons, hydroponic systems, and yard carts
I live Birds and Blooms. I'm more of a veggie gardener, but birds and flowers help as far as pollination and pest control. In the back of the magazine, they used to always have a simple project. I hope they still do. I have kept several year's worth of them and used many of the projects. I've made bat houses from one board. Bird houses from pvc and funnels. I use flimsy metal shelves in my shed, turned upside down, and hung from the rafters…very strong this way.
To me BHG is only occasionally good for the recipes
One of the things I love about living near Austin is that the local news stations often have garden segments. One of the local TV stations has a show (I can’t remember the title off the top of my head) with a local nursery owner.
Urban Farm magazine was very good, but unfortunately stopped publishing several years ago.
You make the best videos about things I want to know about. And the best videos about things I didn't even know I wanted to know about.
Love this information. Thank you Luke!
Have reviewed Mother Earth News magazine? If so, what are your thoughts
Good job Luke, Garden Gate is my favorite that is the only one that I have stayed with over all the years. Fine Gardening is decent too and so is hortuculture magazine. Happy holidays.
Garden seed catalogs and planning future gardens gets me through every winter. Most magazines and even websites and channels don’t help me much since I live in extremely difficult gardening conditions. Think heat that starts hitting 100+ degrees as soon as mid June. Soil that is almost devoid of organic matter mostly sand from decomposed granite. rain is iffy. Hey we have tin cans and trees that have lain in the desert intact for DECADES! Wind almost always arrive near sunset. So I love looking, planning, dreaming. Containers are about my only hope. So if you have any suggestions beyond my sunset new western gardener book which gives the most detailed information… I am in zone 9a and SNWG zone 11 and fruit trees and berry bushes??? With drought most of my neighbors have given up for bare dirt or gravel, but some just mow the weeds that pop up when even a minute amount of rain happens, and call it a day. Sigh. The real bonus?, about 270 growing days a year.
Prices quoted are $US in Canada these magazines are about double in $CDN
This is way way beyond the $ exchange rate and very prohibitive to buy
Very thorough info as usual, thank you Luke. Yes, you should maybe put out your own. It can be all about plants and landscaping with plants
Thank you! Great content.
I’m surprised you left out Fine Gardening! Such a quality publication.
Maybe its time for a MI Gardener magazine?
Maybe it's because I'm a 'Boomer, but my first choice when looking for useful garden tips is the whole"Mother Earth" line of magazines. Even the ads are often entertaining and informative.
I LOVE Backwoods Home and it's sister publication, Self Reliance. There's SO much information in both of them. Grit is also good!
I think Magnolia magazine is overrated these days. It used to be great though.
Thank you for this! I think you need to start a magazine now!
'Gun & Garden' is the equivalent of 'Northern Gardener'.
Thank you for doing this. I have always loved Garden Gate and they have a great YouTube channel.
This is very good information. What about Fine Gardening Magazine?
I have about a decade of Rodale's magazine from the 1980s … just read them — all relevant today
You didn't include organic gardening,been getting issues for 40 years
1) I think regional gardening magazines are most useful and they don't attract so many advertisers. I have subscribed to The Texas Gardener for several years and the regular contributers are writers we look forward to. I don't find some of your rating categories very useful. 2) The Kiwi Grower (on youtube) does a nice job of combining of gardening content and uses of the produce he grows. It probably does not hurt that his produce is often exotic for us in the U.S. (Ladies, it does not hurt that Kiwi Grower is himself eye-candy!)
Thank you for sharing this information
what about Organic Gardening and Mother Earth
My 4 favorites are “Gardener’s World” (British), Garden Gate (US., a bit “fluffy” but good pictures and design ideas are ok), and “Mother Earth” (US- includes cooking and farming stuff too — fairly decent), and “Fine Gardening” (US – good info generally).
Side note : In S.E. Michigan, in my opinion, Tractor Supply Company tends to carry better farm & garden books & magazines than the big box hardware or grocery stores. If that helps anyone. Of course, you can order whatever you want online too. Bigger book stores may have a good selection too.
Thank you for doing a good winter gardening video that isn’t just “what you can grow in December”
Is like to aee a Christmas decorating video please with the Roots, Shoots and Coffee crew
Well done. Companies may take note. Thanks!
On the west coast Sunset is great
Birds and Blooms I've gotten. Where I moved seems like a bird sanctuary. Seen all kinds I had to look up to see what they were. Got a lot of waterbirds and hawks, owls and eagles with the little ones. My own yard is good for bird watching. My camera should be in a easy to get spot. Hummingbirds could care less about the feeders so have a couple of honeysuckles on trellises they love. They bloom at different times so keeps them coming.
I love In Her Garden! Very inspiring, high quality pictures, quality paper which adds to the reading experience, and such a great variety of gardeners in each issue. I found this video post very interesting and informative.
I really enjoy MIGardener you tube! Great content! Thanks!
Mother Earth and Grit. Try them!
Wonder about Fine Gardening? Thanks for introducing me to Northern Gardening. Def agree re In Her Garden. Beautiful mag.
I always just assume that anything with “home” in the name should be called “expensive home and landscaping”. I have found a few of you on YouTube that I have gotten really good information from and am happy for those resources. And BTY, the Jalapeño pepper seeds I bought from you last year produced plants that didn’t stop producing until our big freeze in late November, I am in KY.
I'd love you to do another video on the information or misinformation in these magazines. Was the content correct or incorrect, in your opinion? Did the tips and practices line up with your methods or did you find it to be poppycock?
