Gardeners world magazine March 09

No - but I'd like to kow what your tip was, please!

Nothing to do with gardening, but I had a letter printed in a magazine many years ago and had a reply several months later from a lady in India. It sparked off years of being pen-pals then, after my marriage broke up and I met my new man, he was more a more adventurous person than I'd been used to (!!!!!) and suggested we go to India to meet my pen-pal and her family. We've now been to see them three times and had the most wonderful experiences. We've seen rice being planted, growing, being harvested; Weve seen all kinds of spices growing - cardamom, nutmeg, tamarind, pepper - loads more; We've seen the Taj Mahal at moonlight and we've spent the night on a "country boat" on the backwaters of Kerala.

I strongly recommend getting in print - it opens up the world.

Well done TTT. Best wishes. :o)

Yes I'd like to know your tip too please.
That's wonderful Nariz. I wonder if GoY members will someday visit each other in diferent parts of the world.

Nice thought, Hywel!

Yes i'd like to know as i have gardeners world mag sent direct to me, so i would like to now which support idea was your's

My tip was "When you tie plants to the support, do it in a figure of eight to allow for growth and movement."

Not rocket science or ground breaking, but never the less new for some people.

I had a letter printed in Gardener's World (in response to a another letter) and ended up with a £10 Garden Voucher - I was thrilled to bits and have still to spend it :)
