The perfect clock for a gardener, makes a great gift. In addition to keeping time, this clock features the moon phases, represented by a bright smiling yellow moon which makes its way across the clock face as the month progresses. The Time to Plant section can be set to your specific zone, and tells you the specific planting times for your area. The facade also features artful illustrations of veggies, and small diagrams of the astrological signs in 'The Time to Plant' calendar. Wood case, clear plastic front. Measures approx 15 1/4" x 10 1/4" x 3 3/4" and weighs over 6 lbs. Can sit on a shelf or be hung on the wall. A great looking and unusual timepiece in wonderful condition and working order!
The lower dial rotates once per year and gells you when to plant your beans, beets, broccoli, carrots, corn, cucumbers, eggplant, endive, kale, leaf lettuce, muskmelon, onion sets, parsley, peas, peppers, pumpkins, radishes, rutabaga, spinach, squash tomato and turnip. The setting can be custimozed to your location in the continental United States based on the dates of first and last frost. The upper dial shows the phase of the moon and has regular hour and minute hands.
The case is made of pine with a pressed board back and a plastic cover over the dial. The clock is electric and uses a Synchron I129RB motor. The original motor was dated 5-78 (May 1978).
