Gardening Magazine
Even the most seasoned gardeners will have a question about their garden once in a while, and you can bet that beginners will be full of questions. Gardening magazines can help with questions that arise involving nearly every aspect of gardening. Not only will gardening magazines give instructions on gardening, they also provide readers with the latest news in the gardening world.
Gardening magazine subscribers are privy to all of the latest information regarding things such as new gardening tools, fertilizers, and pesticides that are introduced to the market. For example, there are always new programs and clubs for gardeners to join, or perhaps a local gardening class that is available. When new tools are produced, such as a new kind of blower or vacuum, or new kinds of lawn mowers or tillers that are available, a gardening magazine is the best place to get all of the information. Not only will these magazines tell you about these products, they will also give you options on where to find them and for the lowest costs.
Gardening magazines offer hints and tips on how to rid your garden of those ever pesky insects. They will also discuss the many ways to recognize and fight diseases that may overtake your plants. The information you get from these magazines could be what ends up saving your garden.
Gardening magazines usually come with a gardening maintenance section that will instruct readers on things like how to prune, when to divide, which fertilizers would be better for your plants, and how much to water. They provide simple, easy to understand instructions on everything from how to deal with weeds to planting tulips.
Gardening magazines give ideas about landscaping and, if enforced, could change the entire outlook of your yard or flower garden. Garden designs can be difficult at best, and magazines can supply gardeners with inspiration and ideas on what will look good and suit their area.
Garden magazines also give subscribers the chance to write questions to be published so that they can get a specific answer from a gardening professional. They also provide gardeners with the chance to share their knowledge and expertise with the public by submitting articles of their choice for publication. One of the highest honors in gardening is to have your lawn or garden displayed in a magazine for everyone to see. It is definitely the pinnacle of gardening.
Gardening magazines provide gardeners with inspiration, ideas, instruction, and even entertainment. Many times gardening magazines will also provide readers with coupons that they can use to purchase items that will either improve, enlarge, or enhance their gardens. Gardening magazines are a primary source for both beginner and experienced gardeners everywhere to get all the latest news and age old gardening traditions at the same time.
Ups…great news, I got the great video about gardening magazine … enjoy it.

Backyard Living! http://www.backyardlivingmagazine.com/
This magazine has no advertisements. It has lots of great contests with small (wind chimes) and large (garden tractor) prizes. It also has lots of stories (funny and helpful) written by readers.
Backyard Living's entire magazine is devoted to landscaping, planting, and gardening, while Better Homes and Gardens also features indoor decorating and cooking, as well as some self-improvement articles. It isn't as gardener-intense as Backyard Living.
I am a landscaper/planter/gardener by hobby, and Backyard Living is a "never throw away" magazine!
Another poster suggested Birds and Blooms. This is also an excellent "no advertisement" magazine; I believe it's published by the same folks that do Backyard Living and Taste of Home.

Sounds like a good offer
You save even more by getting the subscription for more than one year ($49.95 for 2 yrs)
P.S. I read this magazine for free at the library…but this offer is tempting
Good luck!!! Hope this helps.

i like family circle, ladies home journal, good housekeeping and martha stewart. lots of good ideas. remember, all magazines rely mostly on their advertisers for revenue, not subsriptions. take what you like and leave the rest. and by all means, if you're not happy with a purchase for any reason, return it, insisting on a full refund. if they want your business again in the future, they'll also send you an apology and sometimes even a coupon for future use.

most print magazines aren't available for download like that. if they were, why would people actually buy them?
However, many magazine have their own websites with decorating tips & ideas in addition to the print version. Here are a couple:

Sunset is a staple in the West but not quite so relevant elsewhere. Garden Gate has good but basic, not particularly innovative, content. Horticulture magazine is written for a more involved gardener/collector, with more details as well as terrific resources (e.g. nurseries) for the plants mentioned. Fine Gardening is comparable, but with a broader scope including more design ideas. Finally, the American Horticulture Society's publication, The American Gardener, is well worth the price of AHS membership for its thoughtful essays and beautiful photos.

I don't know about BH&G, but Target had a nice pedestal table for sale in last weeks' ads. I think it was $199.99.
December 17th, 2009 at 2:57 am
You really can't beat the "Sunset Western Garden Book" for those of us living in "the west." It's specific to our climate and has a zone rating for our area too. The book is easy to follow and covers a wide variety of plants. It's a great book to begin with!
http://www.sunset.com/sunset/bookstore/article/0,21684,750512,00.html
You can pick it up easily…bookstores, home improvement stores, Costco. As far as what to plant, go to a good local nursery and begin to ask questions, they will be very helpful and offer good advice. Good luck.

I hope she influences others to start gardening the way the economy is right now. A lot of people could use the help, food wise. I'm not hurting for money in the least and I had my gardener plant me a veggie garden on the side of the house next to my herb garden. I'd have done it myself, but I have a "black thumb". Every plant I touch seems to die a slow, horrible death. LOL!
December 17th, 2009 at 5:19 am
OK it's getting late. Here is where I'd start:

You do know that most magazines are really better at 'branding' then selling right?
Whatever one(s) you choose make sure they are AUDITED. If they aren't take your money and run.
If you need layout work for your ads we do that as a side and are very reasonable. Just drop me a line if you're interested.
December 17th, 2009 at 8:52 am
on their online archives. you can also have them send you a back printed copy. just contact them if you want the hard copy otherwise find it online. good luck!

Try the link below. If that doesn't work, go to http://www.gono.com
Once there, select the icon that says "Ad Art Gallery". That will take you to another page where, if you scroll down about halfway, you'll see links for different Magazine Covers.
Select the "Better Homes & Gardens" link… you'll get a page that shows you covers from the 30's through the 70's. Clicking on the thumbnail opens a larger image in a new window.
Keep in mind, I think this is a personal collection, and the person doesn't have EVERY magazine from EVERY decade, but you should find enough examples for whatever your purpose may be.
Hope that helped! Good luck.

Blue Cheese Mini Corndogs
Prep: 30 min.
Cook: 2 to 3 min./batch
1 cup all-purpose flour
2/3 cup yellow cornmeal
2 Tbsp. sugar
1-1/2 tsp. baking powder
1/2 tsp. dry mustard
1/4 tsp. salt
1 Tbsp. shortening
3/4 cup milk
1/4 cup blue cheese
1 egg
3 slices bacon, crisp-cooked and finely crumbled or chopped
Oil for deep fat frying
6 jumbo beef franks, cut in half crosswise
12 6-inch wooden skewers
Honey mustard or mustard
Blue Cheese Dip (optional)
Fresh Italian (flat-leaf) parsley (optional)
Directions
1. In large bowl combine flour, cornmeal, sugar, baking powder, dry mustard, and salt. Cut in the shortening until mixture resembles fine crumbs. In a blender combine milk, blue cheese, and egg; cover and blend until almost smooth. Add egg mixture to flour mixture along with bacon; mix well. (Batter will be thick.)
2. Meanwhile, heat 1 inch of oil in a heavy 10-inch skillet over medium heat to 365 degrees F. (should take about 15 minutes).
3. Insert skewers into ends of franks. Holding onto skewers, hold franks over bowl of cornmeal mixture. Spoon cornmeal mixture on franks and slightly spread to completely cover. Place coated franks, 3 or 4 at a time, on their sides in hot oil. Turn franks with tongs after about 10 seconds of cooking to prevent batter from sliding off. Cook for 2 to 3 minutes more or until golden brown, turning to brown evenly. Remove and drain on a baking sheet lined with paper towels. Keep warm in a 200 degrees F. oven while frying remaining franks. Serve warm with honey mustard and/or Blue Cheese Dip. Sprinkle parsley. Makes 12 appetizer corn dogs.
Blue Cheese Dip: In medium bowl combine 2/3 cup mayonnaise, 1/4 cup dairy sour cream, 2 ounces crumbled blue cheese, 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce, and 1/8 teaspoon ground black pepper. Cover and chill until ready to serve.
Make-Ahead:Make these fresh. Skewer hot dogs ahead of time, cover and refrigerate. Once fried, corn dogs can be kept warm in a 200 degree F oven up to 30 minutes.

better homes and garden might have good ideas. i'd go to the library first and look at what they have book wise. they should have lots of books on all sorts of things pertaining to gardening and landscaping
you can also join some of the yahoo gardening groups out there for lots of help with info, advise and you can even get free plants and seeds (might have to pay postage but that's it)

Sunset Magazine is dedicated to gardening in the West. There are plenty of back issues, books, and online articles written expressly for desert gardening.
go to: http//www.sunset.com for more info

Not much…entertainment/curiosity value only. I've got old Ladies Home Journals circa 1895 I got for a buck about 20 years ago. . Fun reading but really not worth much, about 5 bucks ea, maybe. I like them for their 'advertizements."
December 18th, 2009 at 12:15 pm
I personally like Birds and Blooms magazine. Its so down to earth for everyone. Find out more about them at birdsandblooms.com
December 18th, 2009 at 1:00 pm
I'm sorry, i'm not sure where you can find a copy online, but you may be able to find a copy in your library. If your library carries bound periodicals, they may have old issues of House and Garden. My library does, and i have actually read the issue that you are asking about.

That'll complement my subscription to "High Times" just nicely…sign me up for a year!

Ingredients
1 2 1/2 lb boneless pork
3/4 c Shortening
10 c Water
6 c MASA HARINA
1 md Onion; quartered
1 1/2 ts Baking powder
3 Cloves garlic minced
About 50 dried corn husks;
4 c Red chili sauce
Instructions
In a 4 1/2 to 5 quart dutch oven bring pork, water, onion, garlic, and 1 1/2 t salt to boiling. Simmer, covered, about 2 1/4 hrs until meat is very tender. Remove meat from broth and cool Using two forks, shred meat, discarding fat. You should have 3 1/2 to 4 c shredded meat. Strain broth and reserve 5-6 cups. In a 3 quart saucepan, heat the red chili sauce and add shredded meat. Simmer, covered about 10 minutes. For MASA: beat shortening with a mixer on medium for 1 minute. Stir together MASA HARINA, baking powder and 2 t salt. Alternately add MASA HARINA mixture and broth to shortening, beating well after each addition. Add just enough broth to make a thick creamy paste. Soak corn husks in warm water for 5 minutes then rinse to remove and corn silk and debris. Drain. To assemble each tamale, spread 2 T MASA mixture in the center of a husk. Place 1 T meat sauce in the middle of the MASA. Fold in sides of husk then fold up bottom. Place a mound of extra husks in the center of a steamer basket in a dutch oven and put tamales in basket, open end up. Bring water to boiling. Reduce heat. Cover and steam 40 minutes, adding more water as necessary. Microwaving for a couple minutes works too.

Unfortunately, I dont have this coupon or know of where to get one. However, if the store is reputable, they will still honour it (or even perhaps have a few spares lying about)
December 19th, 2009 at 12:44 am
Yes, you can do that, or buy graph paper. It is fun to play around and see what you come up with.
It is possible to make astounding patterns using square-foot gardening and different colors and leaf patterns. Think of quilt blocks and different lettuces. One season i grew 23 different kinds of lettuce and planted them in all sorts of diagonal and criss-cross arrangements! It was a blast!

Check the page where they list the editor, publisher, etc. The small print usually has information on submitting material. There may also be information on their web page.
December 19th, 2009 at 6:44 am
$20 a month for a magizine would be way too much. so i would assume its yearly. right now there website is saying you can subscribe for 2 years (24 issues) for only $22.
I got a thing in the mail yesterday saying i could get 2 years for just 12, so i went to there website to see if it was a good deal, i think i might take them up on it

Is it this one?

SIX-LAYER STRAWBERRY CAKE
Source: Family Circle Magazine
Servings: 20
CAKE:
3 1/2 cups cake flour (not self-rising)
1 1/2 teaspoons baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 cup solid vegetable shortening
2 cups granulated sugar
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
2 tablespoons strawberry liqueur
1 cup buttermilk
Red food coloring
2/3 cup diced strawberries
6 egg whites
1 teaspoon cream of tartar
FROSTING:
1 cup (2 sticks) butter, at room temperature
2 packages (8 ounces each) cream cheese, at room temperature
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
1 teaspoon lemon extract
1 teaspoon lemon extract
4 boxes (1 pound each) confectioners' sugar
1/4 cup milk
Red food coloring
1/3 cup diced strawberries
DECORATION:
2 cups unsweetened shaved coconut OR: unsweetened flake coconut
6 medium-size strawberries
White chocolate curls
CAKE:
Heat oven to 350 degrees F. Coat 3 straight-sided 8 x 2-inch round cake pans with cooking spray. Line bottoms with waxed paper; coat paper with nonstick cooking spray.
Sift together flour, baking soda and salt into large bowl.
Beat shortening in large bowl on medium speed, gradually adding 1 1/2 cups sugar; beat 2 minutes or until smooth. Add vanilla and liqueur; beat 1 minute.
On low speed, beat in flour mixture in 3 additions, alternating with buttermilk, beginning and ending with flour; then beat on medium-high speed 2 minutes. Tint with 10 drops food coloring. Fold in diced strawberries.
Place egg whites (be sure there are no specks of yolk in the whites) in separate large, clean bowl. With clean, dry beaters, beat egg whites until foamy. Add cream of tartar; beat on high speed, gradually adding remaining 1/2 cup sugar. Continue to beat until stiff glossy peaks form.
Stir one-quarter beaten whites into cake batter to lighten; gently fold in remaining whites. Divide batter among 3 prepared pans.
Bake in 350F oven 28 to 30 minutes, until cakes spring back when lightly touched. Cool in pans on racks 15 minutes. Turn cakes out onto racks; remove paper; let cool.
FROSTING:
Beat 1/2 cup butter and 1 package cream cheese in large bowl until smooth, 1 to 2 minutes. Add half of the extracts, 2 boxes sugar and 2 tablespoons milk. Beat on low until blended; scrape down sides of bowl. Beat on high until smooth and spreading consistency, 1 to 2 minutes. Tint with 8 drops coloring. Stir in diced strawberries.
Use remaining frosting ingredients to make second batch, omitting coloring so frosting is white.
TO ASSEMBLE AND DECORATE:
Trim 2 cakes even; leave third layer with crown. Insert picks around side of one layer, halfway up side. Using picks as guide, slice in half. Repeat with other 2 layers (6 layers). Discard picks.
Place one trimmed layer on cake plate. Spread 1 cup pink frosting over top. Place another layer on top; spread with another 1 cup pink frosting. Repeat with 3 more layers and pink frosting. Top with untrimmed layer; do not frost. Insert a couple of wooden skewers vertically into cake so layers do not slide. Refrigerate 30 minutes.
Frost sides of cake with about 3 cups white frosting. Before frosting sets, gently press shaved coconut onto sides. Remove skewers.
Swirl about 1 1/2 cups white frosting on top of cake. Arrange strawberries on top, halving some. Arrange chocolate curls around berries. Refrigerate to set, at least 1 hour before serving. Cut while still cold.
