MG Terry - Beware of March!

The sun is on fire in the sky & in its warmth flowers are opening in our gardens. March is a month of promise as well as progress, but beware of the "Ides of March" as many a plant has been assassinated as a result of premature planting.

March 1st = 11 hrs 21 minutes of daylight with an average temp of 57.3°.

March 31st = 12 hrs 36 minutes of daylight with an average temp of 63.1°.

The average precipitation is 4.17" over an average of 10 days, but sometimes that comes all at once.

The record high for March is 88° & the record low is -1°. The soil temp is 52°.

Something must be perfectly clear, nothing, but nothing matters in our gardens as much as our soil & its preparation. Our soil is only ready when it crumbles in our hand like our mother's chocolate cake...more on our soil later.
