It's trying to become Spring here. One day it might hit 70, sunny, looking good. The next windy, rainy, cold to just over freezing during the day, and some nights into a freeze which usually kills early blooms. Ohio is pure hell on Peach blossoms, hard to have a crop here. Apples are hardier, and can tolerate some of the dips. A lot of perennial flowers like Crocus, and Tulips were up, and flowering. Cold pinches hit them hard too.
But with all the rain in the late Winter, and early Spring we get, and with those days where it is warmer, damn grass is green, and growing strong, and I have a personal dislike for HAVING to mow in March. I like to be able to hold off until April. This year if we don't mow soon, we'll have to bale it. Talking about mowing Monday. We were going to do it today, but we both were watching March Madness, which sounded a lot more fun, and it turned rainy, so have to wait a few days to let it dry a bit.
But it means we have plenty of water, a great water table, and low low low water costs, which from the sounds of it isn't the given it is for us. BUT that also has a flip side. Our plants are a lot more water dependent, and very shallow rooted, so even a short dry spell makes everything go brown, but a day of rain brings it all right back. A dry week, and the ground cracks open.
But when it comes on our Springs are wonderful, except those days when the Tornados start spinning up, but sounds like that is a problem a lot of places. Just heard that our Gover-nome, is calling in FEMA, which is a first that I can remember, we have always taken care of our own issues, but I guess everyone is becoming weather dependent on the Gubmit.
