They should pay me
over half the pages are ads. Nothing like the last 37 yrs I bought. This will be the last
Different editions
This is the standard National edition, which is fine; however, I wish Amazon sold the southern edition. You can tell which one it is by looking at the 1st or 2nd page, which you can see here because Amazon lets you!
I just left OFA website, almanac.com, to order the southern edition, but didn't because shipping was outrageous: $4.95 usps; $14.95 ups 3-5 days; $24.95 ups 3-day. Can you believe that?!
I think I'll order the National version here (my profile shows MN but I moved to TN Spring 2008).
Dissapointed
Very little gardening in the Gardeners Almanac. I specifically wanted planting dates and that section is So general I could have figured it out myself.
Waste of money for me.
A waste of money.
If you want to waste money for slick advertisements and unuseable information this is the book for you. Made the mistake of buying one, flipping through, asking, "what happened to the "old" information they used to pack into the book?", and proceeding to return it for a refund.
My father loved this gift
I purchased this to add to my father's birthday gift. He absolutely loved it. I haven't seen him that excited over a gift (especially considering it was an "add-on" gift) in a long time. He is obsessed with the weather, so I figured this was something he would like. I was right.
