Hi guys
I was just in whsmiths looking at gardening magazines for something to read on my long journey to south Hampton on Monday. And I've seen the "you're easy veg garden" which seems to be an annual publication with growing advice fir the year, and 10 packs of seeds, all for £7.99
I can't find anything online other than the "annual subscription (1 issue and costs more than whs)
I just wondered if anyone has got it, and is it worth the money?
Sorry I'm being unfaithful to kg lol. I've just already got the current issue
Your easy veg garden bookazine

I have bought it before, mainly because the seeds looked good & were worth more than the price of the book. It is pretty basic but there were odd snippets of useful information. I'd probably buy it again if I saw it, both for an easy read & free seeds. Something to while away the dark evenings.

I looked at it again today, and decided against it
I don't need a 5th pack of tomato seeds, or a 3rd pack of onions, and no one in my family eats chilli peppers... So not really worth it.
I'm on my phone and it tried to auto correct 'chilli peppers' to 'children' I think my phone is a cannibal :/ lol

Predictive text hey? 
I got better seeds than that when I bought it previously. (Cut & Come salad, Pak Choi, Mooli). Haven't seen it for sale around my area yet so will think carefully. Are all the seeds the same in every magazine?

Saw it today Dan!
See what you mean about the seeds, very basic. The mag also seemed very thin, so probably not too many pages. Can't tell anything about it though with the plastic packaging - at least with KG it is clear so you get an idea of the mag itself, the pink colouring on it hides everything.
It does not look anything like the mag I have bought previously, that was more book than this.

One of the chaps who is helping us clear the local community garden has a copy, apparently it's not very good... But the seeds are worth more than the cost of the mag... Shame I wouldn't grow 1/2 of them

I bought lots of seed from Aldi last year - veg, herbs and flowers. If I remember rightly they were 39p a pack! The varieties were basic, but covered most of what you need. I'm sure they'll sell them a gain this year, and cumulatively probably cheaper than the mag? Also great for community projects where cash is hard to come by.
