Special Acknowledgement From Then...

​Published every year since 1818, this year marks the Official 200th Birthday Edition of the 2018 Farmers’ Almanac.  From yester year’s faded pages to today’s informative publications we have learned countless lessons about seasonal hints, interesting historical stories, culture tidbits and educational facts that maintains our love affair with mother earth. Congratulations to the Farmer’s Almanac!

  • Flowers always make people feel better, happier, and more helpful:  they are sunshine, food and medicine to the soul.  – Luther Burbank
    ​
  • Earth laughs in flowers.  – Ralph Waldo Emerson

  • Gardening requires lots of water, most of it in the form of perspiration.  – Lou Erickson

  • My garden is my most beautiful masterpiece.  – Claude Monet
    ​
  • Your first job is to prepare the soil.  The best tool for this is your neighbor’s motorized garden tiller.  If your neighbor does not own a garden tiller, suggest that he buy one.  – Dave Barry
    ​
  • The greatest fine art of the future will be the making of a comfortable living from a small piece of land.  – Abraham Lincoln
