2014 Homesteading Calendar
The 2014 Walden Effect Homesteading Calendar is here!
Features include:
- A planting guide on the back cover, steering you toward optimal planting dates for spring, summer, and fall crops.
- Phases of the moon, solstices, equinoxes, eclipses, and meteor showers so you'll stay tuned to the natural world.
- National holidays so you know when the bank is closed.
- Birthdays of
permaculture-related visionaries and holidays like "What You
Think Upon Grows Day" to keep you inspired. (Many of the most
well-known permaculturalists, though, aren't represented because they're
still alive and don't have their birthdays in the public domain.
Sorry!)
- Monthly task lists for the backyard homestead, telling you when to hatch eggs, split hives, prune perennials, and more.
- Some of our favorite photos from this blog!
- Free gift-wrapping and notes --- just include a message with your order if you'd like to make your calendar a gift.
Since calendars are perishable objects, we've only printed 300
copies, so buy them while they're available! First come,
first served until they're gone!
Calendars cost
$11.99 each with $2 shipping per order. We haven't figured out international
shipping yet, so please email rather than ordering directly if you live
outside the U.S.
Mark's mother, Rose Nell, and her partner, Jayne (who did such a
great job designing the calendar) will be shipping your calendars
from their Ohio home. So don't worry if your confirmation
email comes from one of them, not from me. If you have any questions about your order, please email roseanell@aol.com.
I hope you enjoy this
new way to keep the Walden Effect in your minds throughout the
year!

I was wondering since your based out of Ohio if the zone you're calendar covers is the Mid-West? Im in California and LOVE your calendar idea, but Im not sure it is on par with the West Coast growing region. If not, I am still considering buying a couple for my MI family.
Thanks, Stephanie
Just got my calendar today. Looks great!! I got a kick out of April's reminder: "Weather is warm enough to catch up on winter laundry."
