Growing paper calendar

If you are interested in buying a calendar (the old-fashioned kind) then I can recommend The Growable Calendar... in other words - 12 seeded paper calendar months that can be planted.

The pages are made from totally biodegradable paper containing seeds (visibly embedded). Once the month is over, remove it from the calendar and plant it to see your calendar bloom!

The calendar is composed of 12 pages sown with various organic seeds:

• Curled Cress
• Wild Strawberry
• Lemon Balm
• Onion “Rouge de Genéve”
• Thyme "German Winter"
• Phacelia
• Chive
• Red Clover
• Spinach "Butterfly"
• Leaf Mustard “Rouge Metis”
• Rocket “Rucola Coltivata”
• Carrot "Ox Heart" 

This product can be delivered to Switzerland for CHF 3.63 in addition to the price of CHF 14.60 for the calendar (prices correct 10.2024).

Something to make your balcony or garden bloom in any season!

Free printable personalized calendar

Every year I print my own calendar off the computer to stick on my fridge. Yes, I know, I am very old-fashioned in this day and age of computerized this and that, but I still like to work this way.

If you are like me then I would like to recommend this free website where you can personalize your own calendar to reflect the country in which you live (even canton!) with local holidays, phases of the moon, week of the year, etc. Also, you can choose to start the week on a Sunday which is quite helpful for those who haven't yet adjusted to start the week on a Monday as they do here.

Go to www.timeanddate.com/calendar/create.html and personalize your calendar the way you like to have it.
