The 2005 California Calendar is called GARDENER'S GUIDE. You can purchase one of these handy guides for just about anywhere in the country you may live. I live in California, so I choose this one. I would like a nice garden next year in spite of my brown thumb (Editor's Note: She's not kidding - her watering techniques are lethal!). Fulcrum publishes this handsome and helpful wall calendar. It tells you what to plant and when to plant for both outdoor and indoor blossoms. Lawns take special care tailored to your area and the information here is priceless. I love the kitchen garden information. Follow the authors' advice and enjoy your garden and the beautiful photography all year.

Candy: The Sweet History 2005 Calendar
by

Avalanche Publishing

Suggested Retail Price: $12.95

CANDY is taken from the book and it is a tantalizing history for those of us who have a sweet tooth. Every month shows the printed ads of very familiar candy choices. This is a history so the pictures bring on a nostalgic jolt when you remember buying this great candy. Mostly these candy treats are still available, and so when you stroll down memory lane with this calendar, you will remember how good this all looked when we were all young and want to rush right down to the store and scream "Hang the calories! I want Candy!"
