| Native Plants to the Rescue
Discover the secret to letting nature get rid of your garden pests. Join The Old Farmer’s Almanac Gardening Club to keep your plants pest-free. | |  | Dear Garden Grower,
Your beautiful, colorful garden was looking good. Everything was healthy and happy. Your tomatoes were basking in the warm sun and your loose leaf lettuce was enjoying the shade after a cool shower. Then… something went wrong.
All of a sudden you find a mysterious powder on the leaves. Stems turn brown and leaves droop. Your formerly happy plants look more like sickly green Swiss cheese.
If you’ve ever planted a garden, you recognize this. It’s a truly disheartening sight when your garden gets inundated with harmful pests. Aphids feed on a plant’s sap and transmit viruses. Cucumber beetles spread bacteria and feed on flowers and fruits. Cutworms chew through stems.
But for every pest that wants to ruin your garden, there’s another beneficial insect that wants to help you out. Or more specifically, they want to eat the pests that are eating your garden. So how do you attract these beneficial beetles, bees, and bugs? Create a habitat that they love with native plants. Native plants have co-evolved with the other plants, animals, fungi, and bacteria as well as the climate, light, and soil conditions in habitats and regions. They provide food, nectar, and shelter for a wide array of important insects, and they help stabilize ecosystems.
When you plant native flowers that attract beneficial insects, you can attract native bees and other pollinating insects to your garden. The more diverse you can make your garden, the more insects you can attract to protect your garden.
How do you select the right plants? How close to your garden do you plant them? How many do you need? You can find out in your 2021 edition of The Old Farmer’s Almanac Garden Guide. In fact, you can find bushels of gardening knowledge in the Garden Guide library. We add an exclusive new digital guide each year for The Old Farmer’s Almanac Gardening Club members, and you get access to all of them. That’s over 1,100 pages of gardening tips, plant lore, recipes, design ideas and inspiration, tricks, shortcuts, and so much more! | | | | | 2022 Now Shipping!

| | | | Speaking Of Flowers | I know. We’re talking about a library of gardening guides. But what good would old editions of the Garden Guide be? Well, if you enjoy landscaping with the vibrant hues of blooming flowers, you can take a peek at the 2014 edition. We spoke with experts in each part of the country to find out what they grow for long-blooming flowers.
If you’re in the Northeast, for example, there’s one stunning speckled yellow flower that blooms nonstop from mid-June all the way through the first frost. If you live in the Midwest, you can plant this small shrub that tolerates poor soil, attracts bees, and is completely covered with pale blue to white flowers.
What are these magical flowers? How can you have them brighten up your home and bring beauty to your yard? Check out the 2014 Garden Guide in the library! |  | | From Flowers to Food | Sure, gardening is fun, but it’s also tasty. What to do with all that fresh, homegrown produce? In addition to the full library of Garden Guides, there’s also a cookbook in the library! Yes, each Garden Guide includes a few recipes, but Cooking Fresh is our collection of more than 160 mouth-watering recipes.
Crabmeat Omelet or Parsnip Griddle Cakes for breakfast? You got it. Eggplant Dip? Chilled Blueberry Soup? Greek Chicken or Curries Spaghetti with Coconut Milk? It’s all here.
Plus there are over 30 common ingredient substitutions, so if you’re out of eggs, you can find out what to use instead! It’s not just ingredients either. Ever read a recipe that calls for a pan you don’t have? Find out what you can switch to. Learn how long you can freeze bananas or breads. Convert metric measurements, discover how many cups a one pound onion will give you, or what flavors you get with different herbs and spices. (What does Lovage taste like and where would I use it?)
This is all in the Garden Guide library, which is just one part of your Old Farmer’s Almanac Gardening Club Charter Membership! Along with a full library of Garden Guide issues, 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 the monthly Old Farmer’s Almanac EXTRA! magazine, which brings you up-to-date information on gardening, weather, nature, astronomy, holidays and events, food, and all the wit and wisdom you expect from North America’s oldest and most popular farmers’ almanac! | | | | | 2022 Now Shipping!

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.
