Many people would say "a calendar is a calendar", and I have even said it. Not so, though, with the Old Farmer's Almanac Gardening Calendar. This calendar shows the moon cycles, and there are very useful gardening tips which foster new ideas (e.g. over-wintering geraniums; why let your investment in spring and summer geraniums die in the frost of fall? Keep them in a cool and sunny spot over the winter, cut them back when they get spindly, then re-pot and fertilize in the spring!) This calendar fosters the adage "waste not, want not", and in economic times like these, every dollar saved is a dollar earned! I give this calendar as gifts to friends who are indoor and/or outdoor gardeners as well, and they love it too! You cannot go wrong with the Old Farmer's Almanac Gardening Calendar.
I bought this calendar for my husband, thinking it would have pictures and information on vegetable gardening. I'm not sure why I assumed it was vegetables as opposed to flowers, but I did. Almost all of the pictures are of flowers though. Great for flower gardening, not so much for vegetables.
I've been looking for this for a year or two after hearing about it from relations in the Appalachians who swear by "Gardening by the Moon" (and their gardens attest to success)! I love the beautiful illustrations and quotes. The moon phases are clear each month. The last page gives the information we needed - it would have been better for us beginners if that information was printed on each page on each date. Other than that - I am thoroughly enjoying it and have planted some things by the last page's instructions. Now to see what the harvest will be.
i purchase this calender every year. it's the perfect size to write in the day blocks. the quotes and miscellany about gardening and weather are always interesting. this year's purchase arrived very quickly and neatly mailed. thank you.
When I ordered this item, I was looking forward to receiving a calendar showing gardening hints and tables for planting each month on every page. What I received was a joke. A regular calendar with the last page showing a general planting guide that is too broad to follow. What a rip-off. I would not even use this planting guide if it were given to me, much less having to pay good money for it. Just my $0.02 worth.
It's a neat month-by-month calendar. Pictures, facts, and quotes that make me smile. Major holidays, moon phases, and even some semi-obscure holidays are listed. Item shipped via cheapest method; arrived 7 days ahead of estimated delivery date.
I like this calendar a lot. In addition to the lovely paintings, there are interesting tidbits around the edges. It packs a lot of information in a small footprint (it's smaller than many calendars) but isn't cluttered. Well done.
It's a sturdy calendar and the gardening tips were actually helpful and worked! However, as with most wall calendars, the spaces were a little two small for me to put everything I wanted and I wished there was one of those pockets at the bottom to store things like coupons and event tickets like some calendars have.
