Helpful Hint…

Deer are beautiful animals but they can destroy your garden in no time. Try this natural DIY deer repellent: Combine 3 tablespoons hot sauce, 3 raw eggs, and 3 tablespoons minced garlic and blend in a blender. Add this mixture to 1 gallon of water in a spray bottle and use it to spray your plants. Be sure to re-apply the deer repellent after rain. Deer do not like the smell of these ingredients so it keeps them away.

If you notice a hole in the upper left-hand corner of your Farmers' Almanac, don't return it to the store! That hole isn't a defect; it's a part of history. Starting with the first edition of the Farmers' Almanac in 1818, readers used to nail holes into the corners to hang it up in their homes, barns, and outhouses (to provide both reading material and toilet paper). In 1919, the Almanac's publishers began pre-drilling holes in the corners to make it even easier for readers to keep all of that invaluable information (and paper) handy.
