I know that some of you, if not all avid gardeners are familiar with Poor Richards Farmer's Almanac. My question is do you schedule your springtime gardening by it? Do you use it for other purposes, if so what? This year it says that April 2-6 is good for planting flowers and veggies. I am hoping my weather cooperates here. You can check out the site online:
http://www.farmersalmanac.com
So please put your two cents in for me.

You and I must be alot alike. I did a discussion on the farmers almanac several weeks ago too. I did a review of the internet site and gave some personal info too. We have always used the farmers almanac as long as I can remember. I am a county gal and we still use it.

While I'm a horrible gardener, I kill anything green! LOL My dad uses the almanac every year. As a matter of fact it's a tradition that he gets the new almanac each year in his stocking! I'm always so lost when it comes to planting that it's terrible. I'm the entire reason lawn services can stay afloat!!! LOL If I want anything landscaped and beautiful I have to pay someone to do it!

You are so funny. I love it that your dad gets a new almanac every year in his stocking. That's awesome. I looked up my information in the almanac online. So does it work for his gardening purposes? I get stuck with the majority of the yard and garden stuff around here. You may be lucky that you don't have a green thumb. lol Thanks for your input. I appreciate it.

But the time is well spent. I will know what is being put on my veggies and plants, instead of relying on mass production gardens. I also know I won't have to worry about e-coli, while eating my veggies. To me it is relaxing to garden and it is also very rewarding.

Where in the US are you; what section of the country? I'm in Southern Oregon and it is safe to start planting now, for the most part. We may get a few more cold nights, but nothing below freezing in the valley. I am worried about planting the tomatoes too soon though. Thank you for your response, it is appreciated.

Thank you for responding so quickly. That's great. Just curious, but what state are you in. I know that in the midwest it is much easier to grow a prosperous garden, than where I am in Southern Oregon. But so far, our ground looks really good and rich, so I am hoping for a bumper crop. Thanks again my friend.
