Old Farmer's Almanac 2008 Calendar is quaint, informative, and fun
| Customer Rating: | | I love my 2008 Old Farmer's Almanac Calendar. It is my favorite calendar that I have had in many a year! How else would I know that the full moon for this March which falls on Good Friday is called the "Full Worm Moon"! If trivia like this. and information on growing plants isn't your cup of tea, then perhaps a Farmer's Almanac calendar isn't for you. I, for one, plan to buy the same type of calendar next year. I love the layout and design and the esoteric information. Thanks to the folks at Farmer's Almanac, I know now to not water my Christmas cactus so much when it's blooming! |
not as much info as previous years
| Customer Rating: | I have bought these calendars the last 3 or 4 years, and love them. They look nice and don't take up a huge space on my wall. I like that the artwork is somewhat old fashoned looking, while the layout is modern. Also, the main picture is only 4 3/4 inches wide and 7 3/4 inches tall, so it doesn't hit you over the head visually.
In previous years there was a short writing each month about a gardening subject, as well as explanations of special dates, but in the 2008 calendar only the latter is included. The descriptions of the dates are printed in a larger font to fill in the space. I miss the extra information, but it looks a little nicer. |
Pretty - But sparse on gardening information
| Customer Rating:  | I was hoping for more gardening by the moon phases type information. I thought it would contain a gardening guide (like in the almanac) but in calendar form... you know, things like best days to weed, sow seeds, prune for growth or prune to inhibit growth.
It's a very pretty calender and does include moon phases, but that's about it. |
Gardening Calendar
| Customer Rating: | | I was very happy with this purchase. It was everything i expected and more. The cover illustration is very bright and cheery, it has a very old fashioned victorian look, which i like. Inside the calendar are beautiful pictures of flowers with descriptions of what they are, and helpful gardening hints. Also a planting chart and moon phases. I will definitely be purchasing this calendar on a regular basis. I bought the farmer's almanac with the calendar, and got both for 14.90 very good bargain. I highlly recommend both products! |
