Question of the Day
If you till your garden in the late fall, you will expose insects hiding there to harsh winter conditions and reduce their populations next year. Fall tilling may help kill corn borers, cucumber beetles, squash bugs, earworms, and vine borers. Tilling has the added benefit of making the soil easier to work in the spring.

About the Almanac
What is The Old Farmer's Almanac? For more than 225 years, we've been the go-to resource for everything under the Sun-including the Moon! We may be "old," but in fact we're new every year-and even every day.
Welcome to the Almanac's HQ! We're located in the tiny village of Dublin, New Hampshire, which is small-town America at its best-complete with Old Glory high atop her pole, a church steeple, the town hall-and New England weather!
