*by L***E on January 20, 2024*

The Old Farmer's Almanac has been around since 1792 and has been providing great information about good old Mother Earth. I have always been a fan of the original book and was delighted to learn that there are others. We recently started a Nursery in our backyard I purchased the Vegetable Gardner's Handbook which my husband did a YouTube video about it was very helpful with our vegetable plants, so I wanted to add flowers to the mix I purchased the Farmer's Almanac Flower Gardener's Handbook that offers great advice and gives detailed information with pictures and charts you can't go wrong in ordering this book and others from The Old Farmer's Almanac
