Last week was really pleasant. Who would ever imagine you could go outside in shorts, a t-shirt and flip flops to take your dog for a walk in the middle of March. In the past few years, we have had major snow storms in March which shutdown local airports since they were not prepared to deice their planes. This is the first year when spring break actually feels like spring.
The only problem with an early spring is the effect it has on farm crops. Since winter is not fully over, frost and cold temperature can harm or kill plants that have started to bloom. Farmers have tried to protect their plants with warm patches and heating elements.
It was nice to have an early spring to see flowers blooming and I hope it has an minimal effect on our gardens and farms.
