In the 2005 edition of "The Old Farmer's Almanac", page 20 under the title "In The Garden" there is a paragraph: "Combining two of the hotest hobbies in North America---gardening and model trains---railroad gardening has become a favorite pastime enjoyed by men and women of all ages. The railroads run on low-voltage electricity and chug through elaborate villages peopled with minature figures in over 70,000 private gardens and botanical exhibits". Background: The OFA has been published every year since 1792. Although written for the New England area, it has weather forecasts for 16 regions in the US as well as a broad range of interesting stories, planting tables, etc. OFA is published by "Yankee Magazine", Dublin, New Hampshire. BTW, approximately 4 years ago in the fall, we were contacted by Yankee magazine about our garden railroad.[:D] They sent a professional writer from Connecticut and also a pro. photographer from Boston, MA. After a wait of 8 months[:(], the photographer called and said the mag. wanted pictures of the garden/trains in the summer. OK, the photographer and assistant again came, spent the day doing their stuff.[:D] Then nothing.[V] May 04 Yankee called to say they will print the article[:D] Although in a shorter form[:(] June 04 edition had the article[:D] The writer had written 1,500 words and we know there had to be at least 50 plus photos, instead, 2 pics and one paragraph. Hey, who cares! An article about Garden Railroading in a non model mag. Super!!!!!!!![:D] George Edgerton Monroe, CT
