I agree! I subscribed to Fine Gardening for a while, and it was probably the best quality gardening magazine I've ever gotten. They have very thorough, well-written articles and lovely pictures, and are printed on heavier than usual paper. My problem was that I couldn't bring myself to dispose of the old issues, and they were accumulating on my shelves. I would consider it quite an honor to be approached by them!

I sent them the photo in a high resolution (that's what they asked me). Will let you all know when it's published.
And thank you all for the congratulations, but it's just a picture, never had the intention to get it published. *Blush*
When I asked my question here on the forum, I didn't know it was a well known and respected magazine. Now I'm comfortable with it and I think I can trust them.
Europeans are very afraid of the US legal system, we avoid anything that can cause legal problems in the USA.

lol...Totally agree. I do love the thought that there are lands somewhere out there that apparently don't have our legal entanglements. Lucky you.

>> Europeans are very afraid of the US legal system,

Me, too. I think the first principle they teach in law schools here is that nothing has to make any sense as long as it generates revenue for lawyers.

Government of the people
by the lawyers
for the rich.

Polly, I've only had time to scan it, but it is a nice looking magazine with lots of beautiful photos, and looks like lots of good information. It's the Jan/Feb. issue. Thumbs up
