Countryside Magazine

[GrannyG]

I haven't been able to put the Sept/Oct issue down this morning....Lots of good reading...especially love the raised beds made from old pipe, a great idea, has some good recipes in there this month,enjoyed the article on adobe bricks, one of our friends has an entire house made from them and it is beautiful. the gourds used for birdhouses,TX for Pinkeye in animals, it is just a great read this month. Sometimes I can't stand the articles, but it is a winner this month.Also has an article for getting bee hives ready for winter, as I know we have bee keepers on here. Hope you can get a copy. You won't be disappointed....just this month. LOL.

Yeah, I just got mine on Wednesday. Oddly enough at the beginning of the week I was thinking "I haven't gotten an issue of Countryside for some time now - I should be getting one soon."!!!!!

Sadly, I only got to the first couple of pages before I had to put it down, and I haven't been able to get back to it yet! That sounds like a wonderful thing to do tonight after work since I have no meetings or son's football practice to go to.

Go home, let my goats out to eat grass and graze, while sitting in my lawn chair reading my latest copy of Countryside!!!!!

Oh, I'm running copies for every gardener I know of the Foraging Article: Wild Plant/ Winter Food. Facinating what you can eat. The winner was cattail! Then, of course, dandelions---that I knew about. Nettles--knew that one--for medicines. Sumac berries and day lily. Interesting---and that's just a "taste" of what they talk about.

Rub it in--just because I cant renew my subscription for awhile--tell me all I'm missing--LOL

Have between 10-15 years worth of issues. Let the subscription lapse when the majority of each issue consisted of reprints of old articles.

Still read through them along with the good issues of TMEN (#1-120) and the old issues of Pop Mechanics.

Nothing much on the newstands anymore worth getting
