Take a Journey and Fertilize Your Mind!
As a subscriber to Farmers Almanac TVÌs newsletter
you are in the lucky position of being able to see
our programming first. Through our broadband
distribution network (a fancy way of saying Ïyou can
watch us on the intenetÓ) you can see highlights and
the latest cuts from our work on the road.
Today weÌd like to take you on a journey. First up,
join us on an Onion
Farm as we
discover the journey onions take, from the ground to
the forklift. Next up, spend some time at Seeds
of Change, an amazing place doing amazing
things. If
you are into Trains and alternative modes of
transportation, youÌre going to love our story about
Hy-Railers,
or Putt Putt cars. After you work up an
appetite with all this backroads travel, cook
yourself up a Cowboy
Steak. Then check out Benny
as
he shows us some great secrets and tricks to
planting a container tree, specifically a Camellia.
To finish off this journey, donÌt miss Steve
Ellis
as he constructs an award winning piece of furniture
out of gathered twigs, right before your very eyes!
Since all of this is still pretty new to our site,
we'd love for you to email us at info@farmersalmanactv.com
if you
have any problems viewing these videos.
And as always can check out where to watch our show
on PBS by visitng our website or clicking

Our second Story Quilt is underway and we're
inviting you to join in. When the story reaches its
end, Farmers'
Almanac TV will publish the entries with
acknowledgements to all our contributors. All you
have to do is read what came before and then add
your sentence or sentences in the next box and press
submit.
This is how our story begins:
It was the first day of the year and a bunch of the
kids on Leestock Street were scrambling with
excitement. Every New YearÌs Day it was tradition in
this tiny neighborhood for the kids to pitch tents
and camp out in the backyards of the two houses at
the end of the cul-de-sac. Nine-year-old SkipperÌs
big brother, Joseph, helped some of the second and
third-graders set up their campsites. A couple of
the fathers pitched in as well, bringing out old
gear they had used earlier in their own lives:
tarps, canteens, pup tents, fire starters, sleeping
pads, and so forth. ÏAll of these got me up and down
the Appalachian Trail,Ó said CalÌs dad, bragging
about how he used to run bears off from the camp in
the middle of the night.

A Past Favorite
Help me Understand My Son
Contributed by: R. Joseph
So help me figure this one out. ItÌs a classic. Our
family (me and the missus and Reed 8, Cosette 5),
had a pretty fun Summer. The kids did some day
camps, I snuck away from the office a few times for
pool days, putt-putt and roller blading. We even all
left town for two mini-vacations.
With all the fun stuff, youÌll never guess what my
son Reed wrote and drew about on his first day of
school when the teacher asked the students to tell
about their most fun Summer Memory.

Joke of the Week
A farmer was driving along the road with a load of
fertilizer. A little boy, playing in front of his
house, saw him and called, "What've you got in your
truck?"
"Fertilizer," the farmer replied.
"What are you going to do with it?" asked the little
boy.
"Put it on strawberries," answered the farmer.
"You ought to live here," the little boy advised
him. "We put sugar and cream on ours."
