April Gardeners World Magazine

Hi all

Just got my copy of April issue of Gardeners World and it came with a free pack of seeds that contain basil, chilli peppers, tomatoes and a 'cut & come again' spicy salad mix. For the veggie growers amongst us, they have an offer inside to send away for 5 veg plants (tomato, aubergine, courgette, pepper & pumpkin).

What caught my eye was the GW Angelica Offer on page 101, under the title "Fill Borders On A Budget". I won't print the full details here (don't want to get in trouble!) but if you send off 3 x 1st class stamps a seed company will send you a packet of Angelica 'Ebony' seeds worth £2.65 plus a copy of their catalogue. I'm not sure if it has the same culinary/medicinal uses as Angelica archangelica, so if anyone knows please let me know?

I've sent off for my free catalogue/seeds this morning as it looks like it would be a wonderful addition to the garden. On the same page of the offer there also have a 3 step plan to rejuvenating pot grown lemon verbena, one of the best 'summery' herbs I know of.
