Hi everyone,

Be sure to order your 2011 farmer’s almanac. It has valuable and surprisingly accurate information and long-range weather forecasts. Plus really cute and helpful articles (several!) through the entire book.

One note: I ordered the one pictured above from Amazon thinking it was like one I had gotten several years ago, but the one I got last year was much more helpful! The one that was more helpful was this one:

You can get yours here: http://www.farmersalmanac.com/where-to-buy/

Pretty sure Amazon has this too but I haven’t looked myself.

Thanks for stopping by!

I have a new favorite book!

I think I have mentioned it before but it deserves another mention.

Month-By-Month Gardening in Minnesota!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! By, Melinda Myers. ISBN-13: 978-1-59186-253-6

ISBN-10:1-59186-253-1

Suggested Retail is $24.99 and worth a LOT more than that!

Here are just a few of my favorite features:

• It covers every type of plant, veggie or herb and provides month by month instructions for them specifically!
• In the Veggie and Herb section there is a late planting chart which tells you your last date to plant your second (or a rotation) planting in order to harvest before common Minnesota frost dates.
• Great seed starting and transplanting dates and what you can put right in the ground in MN.
• So many “Helpful Hints” and creative suggestions I would have NEVER thought of it could make your head spin!!!

So, if you’re looking for some serious information for Minnesota gardening of all sorts please grab a copy of this wonderful book. I just love looking through it.
