It is warm outside, in the 70s, the pear trees have bloomed and are now in leaf and the cherry trees are starting to bloom. It must be Spring and time to start the summer veggie garden, right? Wrong. Although it only just turned to March, it feels so warm and welcoming, but I have checked my journals from years past and note that I have had this same feeling at the same time of year in years past only to suffer the consequences of planting too early. It is not time and won't be the right time until mid-April. But the garden beckons and it is difficult to wait.
It seems we are always waiting, planning and hoping, and waiting some more. If I were to plant now, the cold snap would return in a few weeks making it too cold for the poor seeds to propagate. I would watch hopefully only to finally determine that it was simply too early and I will need to start again. So with age and experience comes knowledge and wisdom, don't start the garden in March, just don't do it!
