Old Reliable Almanac
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 18 years ago
I've purchased the Old Farmer's Almanac for several years and have always enjoyed them. The weather information is amazingly accurate! The gardening information is very helpful and the trivia articles are always interesting. It's imposssible to read one and not learn something. It's a fun read, at the very least.
A Must Have for Gardeners
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 18 years ago
My parents wouldn't think of planting their garden without consulting the Old Farmer's Almanac for the sign of the moon. They have great success following the guidelines for when to plant root crops, etc. Others find it valuable for the weather predictions (covering 16 regions). Other useful info fills out the book (Best Fishing Days, a list of holidays). A variety of fillers such as trends in homes and fashions and collectibles plump up the almanac and make good reading for a snowy day. I like that it has the symbolic meanings of herbs, flowers and trees. One article in this issue is "Toys that withstood the test of time." The almanac contains a little something for everyone. It has been published since 1792, so obviously it fills a need.
