    Thought I'd brag about my latest charity shop bargain I got the "Journal of The Royal Horticultural Society THE GARDEN" magazine complete volumes from January 1992 right the way through to January 2001 for just £5.50!!!!! although I'm missing 1996 but I think this might still be in the shop in which case I'm going to hunt around tomorrow in the pile for it:lollol:

    Wow good for you! I love charity shops, you just never know what you will find. There are usually a lot of "old" gardening books around on the shelves.
