Remember the other day on my personal blog when I commented that I needed to find the last frost date prediction for my area.... Look at the bottom of the email I just got today....

Greetings Farmhand!

Want more Farmers' Almanac TV? Flip on the T.V. The successful, nationwide series is now running its second season on public television stations around the country.

The magazine-style show delves into how traditions started, uncovers unique and inspiring stories, as well as features people who cherish the earth. It also provides time-tested and relevant information about weather, gardening, astronomy, and many other topics, in addition to timeless hints and tips. It brings America's favorite Almanac to the small screen!

For dates and times of the show, click here.

Some of the featured stories on Farmers' Almanac TV include...

Meet two Portland, Maine natives who just hoped to create a better soda. In the process, they created Maine Root, an organic root beer that's flying off the shelves of grocery stores nationwide.

While Dyersville, Iowa may be known for the Field of Dreams, it is far more than that. Its farm toy museum is home to over 30,000 exhibits of toy farm implements, trucks and all the toy tractors you loved as a child.

Get a first-hand look at the Stone Barns Center, located just a few minutes outside of New York City. Its 80 acres of gardens, pastures and woods show how the rich tradition of community-based farming can merge with the 21st century.

Learn how the Farmers' Almanac has evolved to become an American institution that many rely on for scheduling everything from a hair cut to planting crops.

February Weather Wisdom

Snow?

If the north wind blow,
We shall have snow.

If the needles on the pine trees are turning to the west, snow shovels will have no rest.

If the cows are bellowing in the night,
Snow is in our sight.

Some believe if cloudy days in three,
Snow will come to thee.

Spring is on its way! Find out when the first day of spring officially starts and what the Farmers' Almanac is predicting for the rest of February and March ... go to www.farmersalmanac.com/weather/weather.html.
