I noticed in my local supermarket that, in addition to the seeds that I got as a subscriber, there was also a free book that I didn't get.
Is this usual?

I've noticed that some supermarkets add their own extra gifts to magazines. I've no idea if this has happened with the one you've seen? -
I bought my copy in a newsagents, no book, just seeds. Think VC's right and some places add the occasional extra.http://mudandgluts.com - growing fruit and veg in suburbiaComment

I got it, some of the advice was a little outdated/super traditional. In places some information wasn't fact checked very thoroughly. But it was handy by giving a week-by-week gardening guide for the year, but mostly only traditional vegetable crops. It was a little useful, but you can find much better information on the Internet, especially on the grapevine

I saw that too - in S****burys I think it was. I know they often give extra packets of flower seeds away on the cover of a certain weekly gardening magazine. I work in a newsagents and this Tuesday our copies only had Echinacea purpurea on the front yet the supermarket copy (which I bought) had the Echinacea plus a packet of Francoa sonchifolia 'Pink Giant' (never heard of it!)
If I'm not on the Grapevine I can usually be found here!....https://www.thecomfreypatch.co.uk/Comment

Thanks VC, it's good to be back (house decorating always seems to take precedence over garden, especially when said house is cold and draughty and leakingOriginally posted by veggiechicken View PostI'm curious to know what the book is! Please can you tell me the title Akion T (Welcome back too))
It's "Growing Vegetables - a step-by-step guide to planning, planting and produce" by Alex Smith, first published 2011, which is surprising I thought it was a little older..
