The Old Farmer's Almanac



Recognized for generations by its familiar yellow cover, America s best-loved annual and oldest continuously published periodical (now in its 224th year!) promises to be useful, with a pleasant degree of humor, once again fulfilling both the mission set forth by its founder, Robert B. Thomas, "and"readers expectations. This edition is packed with wit, wisdom, tips, advice, facts, fun, and recipes, including:
traditionally 80 percent accurate weather forecasts
how to make sausages at home
creatures from hell
grow your own beer (ingredients)
time- and money-saving tips
unmasked mysteries of plant seed dispersal
bale, key, and concrete block gardens
quirky origins of American horse breeds
history, lore, and more about birthstones
Plus, Moon phases and other celestial sightings, tides, gardening tables, best days to do things, and more.
Added value this year:
96 full-color pages
full-color winter and summer weather maps
updated Reference section
Often imitated, but never equaled. Accept no substitutes!"
