In 2020, we at The Old Farmer’s Almanac saw a huge surge in inquiries from first-time gardeners seeking articles and advice to help them get started.
As we begin the 2021 gardening season, we hope that the new gardeners of 2020 will be keeping at it! Your first attempt probably left you with more questions than answers. Maybe you made a few mistakes. This is all completely normal and the natural progression of learning the art of growing. Please don’t get discouraged!
To help, we’re launching a new educational series: “Gardening for Everyone.” This step-by-step guide on our Web site, Almanac.com, can help anyone (really, anyone!) to plan, plant, grow, care for, and harvest a bountiful garden. The advice here is geared toward the new-ish gardener, but there’s plenty for folks with a few years of experience under their belts. It’s basically a master class in gardening from the experts at The Old Farmer’s Almanac!
“Gardening for Everyone” includes:
You’ll find all of this in “Gardening for Everyone,” plus garden layouts, seed catalogs, planting calendars, watering charts, harvesting guides, and much more! And as if all of this great information weren’t enough, it’s all absolutely free!
Finally, if you want to take your garden planning to the next level, we encourage you to start a free trial of our Garden Planner app. This fun, online “drawing board” is easy to use and offers a smart, flexible design to adapt to any growing situation. A super flexible tool for PC or Mac, it has a database of over 250 vegetables, herbs, fruit, and flowers for you to choose from, plus expert advice, gardening plans, tailored gardening activities, a garden journal, and more.
As sure as the Sun will rise and set each day, The Old Farmer’s Almanac is here for you, now and always.
