  • What about an issue on companion planting?

    I've been buying GYO since last March and although there are little tit bits in every issue I was wondering if the editors might consider printing a companion planting table.

    I am forever online and searching when I want to introduce a new variety to my garden and have to juggle my plot around. Something which I could cut out and keep in my seed box/ on my shed door for quick reference would be ideal...

    Just an idea....
    Serene she stand amid the flowers,
    And only count lifes sunny hours,
    For her dull days do not exist,
    Evermore the optimist
