The Old Farmer's Almanac

[bznuts]

I know some advanced growers that swear by this publication and the benifits its use can provide. I also come across those that seem to turn a cheek or close their ears when the book is discussed. I would love to know any and all thoughts on the subject. :ccc:

the farmers almanac is great, on my own account, i generally use it to determine when to plant outdoors, although the website isn't too much help, the USDA plant hardiness zone map helps alot with the determining factor. i usually use a buffer of a few weeks till planting.

The Almanac has many interesting and useful things such as hardiness zones etc. When it comes to specific weather forecasts, forget it. Meteorologists have a hard time predicting the weather next week so predicting it a year or more ahead is just guesswork.
