My paper copy hit the doormat a few days ago.
An excellent read as usual.
How did I know that it was the March issue though?
The 'March 2008' date is missing from the front cover where it normally appears above the EN of GARDEN!!!
The editor's welcome on page three says 'Mad about March' so I'm sure I've got the right issue!!!

Wierd - it's here on our copy.

Does your copy have overseas prices listed under the barcode (bottom right on cover)

Looks like you might have the international copy - I assume you got the free seeds though?

Yes - several prices are there US, C, Aus, NZ and UK.
Got a double packet of seeds thanks.

How does this mag we get sell in Australia and New Zealand when the seasons are so different?

OK - this appears to have been an error with the printers. They are sent 2 covers - one for UK, and one for EXPORT.
The UK cover has the issue date beside the logo and above the barcode - whilst the export version has 'N3' above the barcode and no issue date beside the logo.

Maybe James Martin bought them himself, so a least there were a few copies that Tigger hadn't dribbled over. :lol: :wink:

The "James Martin Effect" does do that to sales, all his fans buy anything with his face on :roll:

I think Tigger did buy them though and they're all stacked in the barn ready to send out to everyone she knows over the next year; and who could blame her :wink:

I was given a 2-year sub as a birthday present, but I'll definitely keep it up when it expires. This month's issue is a particularly good read.

I wonder if there is an index of matters discussed in back issues. I use post-it notes for ready reference, but eventually I'll have such a huge stack of mags that poughing through the post-it notes will take years.

Dear Mike, i'm sure there was an index of matters discussed in one of the back issues, i can't lay my hands on my one yet.
But i'm sure the kind, heplful, nice and friendly team at the K.G.Admin might be able to help. :)
Kind Regards, Old Herbaceous.

Cue me! *ta-da!*

EDITED
Yes - every year in the December issue - which is available on our back issues site.

PLUS- you CAN search through the CONTENTS PANEL from every back issue we have on www.classicissues.com

Which is pretty useful too.
(Thanks to M'Lady for the correction!)

Well i was in one of the other type of magazines they do, quite a few years ago, on the front cover, centre spread and a couple of other pages.

But luckily that doesn't come up. :wink:
