Just a few of the many features:

Perennial plants are featured in the 2009 Baer’s Almanac—how to grow them, which are recommended. Gardeners will find a treasure trove of news and ideas in the 60th consecutive edition to be edited by Gerald S. Lestz, now 94, aided by Linda Lestz Weidman, who handles production and bookkeeping.

Celery and carrots are discussed, as well as poppies, gourds, gladiolus, cornflowers and vinca. Preserving native plants is urged, along with protection of trees, and teaching “green” topics to children. You’ll find weather predictions, moon phases and much more.

Recipes come from Charleston, S.C.; California, Pa. Dutch and Alaska. Anniversaries noted include: First singing of “Dixie” and John Brown’s Raid, 1859; discovery of the North Pole, 1909; and statehood for Alaska and Hawaii, 1959. You’ll delight in the informative and entertaining array in the 2009 Almanac. Order it and other Baer publications today!
