Are you a fan of the Old Farmer’s Almanac, that iconic paperback tome with the yellow cover and the hole in the corner? Are you a fan of my podcast, the Horticulturati, that not-yet iconic digital fount of Texas gardening info and feelings?

Well, the two are colliding in this episode! I grew up reading the Old Farmer’s Almanac and in this episode I tell Leah, my co-host and landscape designer friend, all about it. I explore my feelings about the past and future of the almanac. Is the Old Farmer’s Almanac it out-of-date and defunct? Is it spreading harmful lies? Or is it what hurried and harried Americans need to slow down our fast-paced lives nowadays?

Also in this episode I explain my latest endeavor that relates to almanacs: a digital fruit tree care calendar that will populate your calendar with the right dates for pruning, harvesting and more in Central Texas!
