Surprisingly, the spring equinox is earlier this year than it's been in a long time. Today does in fact feel like the first day of spring, too: whereas it's been hinting at spring for a while, today is genuinely warm.
We are burning gathered brush and deadwood today to create a kind of natural charcoal fertilizer for a garden patch. In the next few days we will turn over the earth, and begin planting as the weather indicates.

Yes, that's a good one.
We've covered the plants for tonight (low of 29 with 40 MPH north winds) and will move them indoors tomorrow afternoon (low of 24.) Ah, the joys of gardening on a plateau with nothing between us and Canada but an open gate in a three-wire fence!

The solar calendar is not as accurate as the lunar one.
Check the temperature of moonlight yourself. When it is a full moon, it is quite cold at night.
