And to get down into the weeds (so to speak!) of The Old Farmer’s Almanac Gardening Club, here are just a few examples of the useful tips, tricks, and info that you’ll get when you join during our Founder's Warehouse Sale:
- When choosing a spot for different plants in a garden, place taller plants on the north side so they don’t cast shade on shorter plants that need plenty of sunlight.
- If a seed packet advises that you plant seeds “sparsely,” leave at least 1 inch between the seeds.
- You can eat flowers! For example, petals from a pot marigold have a tangy taste: Dry the petals in a 100°F oven, crumble them, and sprinkle on cheese dishes, omelets, and rice.
- Plant annual flowers and vegetables that bear crops aboveground during the waxing of the Moon—from the day the Moon is new to the day it’s full.

P.S. Now here’s a novel way to test the soil in your garden: Bury a pair of all-cotton men’s briefs 6 to 8 inches deep. After 2 months, dig them up and you’ll know by how much of the cotton is left how well-stocked your soil is with beneficial earthworms, fungi, and bacteria! It’s true, and you can find tidbits like this only in The Old Farmer’s Almanac!
P.P.S. Don’t forget: During our Founder's Warehouse Sale, when you become a Charter Member of The Old Farmer’s Almanac Gardening Club, you’ll save 62%! Think of all the plants, seeds, and gardening gear you can buy with the money you save! |
