Photographs of green herb gardens on each page.
Every month highlights a different herb with history,recipes,and folklore.
I learned much from this caledar, but use it as a day/date reminder and purchase a
seperate appointment calendar. Writing space is small or none for each day.

The photos are very nice. One problem with pictorial calendars is that sometimes it's easy to tire of the pictures before the month is out. That shouldn't be a problem with this calendar. The January recipe, risotto with mushrooms and herbs, was quite tasty. Scattered around the calendar dates are various tidbits of folklore and miscellanea. I didn't know, for instance, that the Chinese used garlic to ward off the evil eye. After enjoying this calendar for the rest of this year, I'll likely get another one of these for 2009.

I missed where it said in the description that every other day offers "remedies and growing tips." What this actually means is you can't write anything in every other square in the entire calendar, because every other square is already full of text.

Well, the pictures are nice. But for me, wall calendars are about seeing a pretty picture AND having space to write things in on various dates of the month (like, say, *calendar entries*).

Well, since it's mid-January, this'll come too late to help anyone else. Bummer.

This is the second year I have purchased this calender. I love , and I mean really love, the recipes. There are wonderful lore and craft ideas as well as good, solid gardening tips. I will be looking for this again for 2013
