There are so many reasons to plant trees. Trees can be homes for birds. They add beauty to your environment and they help keep your neighborhood cool. And from a tree’s point of view, right now is an excellent time to be planted.
A tree’s roots begin growing the moment they touch the earth and will continue to grow until the soil temperature drops below 40 degrees Fahrenheit. That means when spring rolls around, your tree is rooted and ready to grow up!
Before you jump into digging, however, there are a few things you should know. One of the most important is that your landscape and your tree have to be compatible. You can give your new tree all the care in the world, but if it doesn’t have the right amount of sunlight and soil drainage, all your work will be for naught!
Fear not! Take a look at the September 2018 issue of EXTRA! to get the full 10-step guide to successfully selecting and planting your next tree. Plus you can find out which trees are best planted in spring rather than fall.
And that’s just a sample of the many informative seasonal articles and facts that you get every month as part of your membership in the The Old Farmer’s Almanac Gardening Club. Not to mention you get the complete archive of issues which go back to 2015! That means you have hundreds upon hundreds of award-winning recipes, enlightening gardening articles and tips, fascinating folklore, humorous stories and quips, and tips for living naturally.
We aren’t just looking back, though. EXTRA! is here to help you look forward… and up! Don’t miss out on upcoming astrological and astronomical events. For instance, the late-summer triangle of Altair, Vega, and Deneb is featured in the September 2021 issue of EXTRA! What’s so cool about three stars? Well, for one, you can use these stars to locate the Northern Cross. Even better, Vega is the solar home of the first alien civilization to contact Earth! Well, at least if you believe Jodie Foster in the movie Contact, and who are we to argue with Jodie Foster?
There’s a full map of the September night sky, including dozens of stars and constellations. Plus, each month you get updated on where to find planets, stars, constellations, meteor showers, Lunar and Solar eclipses, and other astronomical features.
It’s all at your fingertips with your membership in the The Old Farmer’s Almanac Gardening Club. And we haven’t even mentioned all the other seasonal topics and information that you get with each issue of EXTRA! |  | | Watchin' The Weather | If there’s one thing The Old Farmer’s Almanac is known for, it's weather predictions. Here’s what’s cool about the weather and a Gardening Club membership: you get the 2022 edition of the Almanac, complete with regional weather predictions for the entire year AND you get monthly updates with EXTRA! So if you’re wondering what September 17 (Constitution Day) will be like in New England, the Heartland, or the Lower Lakes region this year, we’re sorry to say it may be a little rainy. Florida and Texas? Hot! Everywhere else should be sunny and cool.
That’s from EXTRA! You can also get a general outlook for autumn weather across the U.S. and Canada. But if you really want to explore regional weather predictions for November in the High Plains, December in the Appalachians, or the entirety of winter in the Upper Midwest, you can grab your copy of The 2022 Old Farmer’s Almanac and look it up.
Should you expect a greater than average snowfall? Will January temperatures be above average? Who will win the Super Bowl? We can help you answer all of those questions… except maybe the one about the Super Bowl. It’s part of the all-inclusive package you get with your Old Farmer’s Almanac Gardening Club membership! | | | It's Not ALL About the EXTRA! | Yes, we love the monthly EXTRA! Yes, we think you’ll love it, too. Yes, it’s packed with recipes, weather predictions, seasonal facts and tips, humorous stories, and maps of the night sky. But the Gardening Club is so much more!
If you think of the Gardening Club as, well, a garden, EXTRA! is like that patch of heirloom tomatoes. It’s bright, colorful, and no one can deny that divine taste that we dream of all year. There’s also a lot more to a garden than tomatoes. You’ve got your first-of-the-season asparagus. You’ve got sweet peas, spicy radishes, cool and crisp cucumbers, mouthwatering melons, and bitter greens. Then there are things like soil, compost, water, sunshine, and fertilizer. In other words, the Gardening Club is the full garden!
That means that, along with the monthly Old Farmer’s Almanac EXTRA! digital magazine, you get the latest edition of The Old Farmer’s Almanac, a richly illustrated 2022 Gardening Wall Calendar filled with gardening tips and folklore, a cultivated collection of inspiring and fun gardening articles in the member-exclusive softcover book, Gardening for Everyone, the Cooking Fresh digital cookbook, and over 1,100 pages of gardening tips, plant lore, recipes, design ideas and inspiration, tricks, and shortcuts in The Old Farmer’s Almanac Garden Guide. | | | | | 2022 Now Shipping!

| | Claim your Old Farmer's Almanac Gardening Club Charter Membership—save 42% today! | | | | It’s never too early to plan next season’s garden, so enjoy the rich illustrations in our Old Farmer’s Almanac Gardening Calendar. This compact calendar is the perfect size to fit on the wall in your kitchen, den, or potting shed. Each month features rich, full-color illustrations along with tips, history, or background information on the artwork.
Here are just a few of the types of tips you can find in our 2022 Gardening Calendar: - If you like your asparagus more on the sweet side, cover the growing green spears with black plastic or bury them in soil or hay. The covering keeps chlorophyll from developing, giving you a harvest of sweet, white spears.
- You can’t eat its fruit, but you can grow one species of banana tree for its lush foliage as far north as Zone 4. It can grow as high as 18 feet tall!
- For a pet-safe garden, try planting pansies. They’re safe for dogs, and delicious in salads!
- Ants can be your partner in pest control. They love the nectar on peonies, and will drive away other insects while they’re foraging for food. Be sure to rinse blossoms before you bring them inside for a bouquet.
- For seedling success, transplant your young plants on overcast days or in the evening.
- Parsnips love a cold snap. Harvest your parsnips after a hard frost. That helps the plant convert its starches to sugars, making your parsnips sweeter.
- If your compost pile smells like ammonia, try adding shredded leaves or straw.
You’ll love the advice, folklore, and gardening secrets in our 2022 Gardening Wall Calendar!
As you count the days until your next planting or your next harvest, peruse the pages of Gardening for Everyone for tips on how to grow better, naturally!
From the practical to the ornamental, plan your prolific garden and learn how to:
- Plant edibles indoors and out, no matter how small your space is.
- Create a serene and leafy oasis—and why you should.
- Make a living herb wreath—a kitchen garden in the round.
- Grow blooms that beautify your surroundings and make breathtaking bouquets.
- Serve up your harvest in style with recipes that will let you savor the flavor of homegrown food.
