First Full Day of Spring 3-21-25

Spring Planting

I did 20 different plants yesterday and these 12 today. I have 8 more to go. Then, I'll wait and watch these seeds grow into real baby plants that will eventually be flowers and herbs on our deck.

************

The first day of spring refers to the calendar day when the season begins, typically marked by the Vernal Equinox. In 2025, that was March 20.

The first full day of spring, however, is the first complete 24-hour day that occurs after spring officially starts. In this case, March 21, 2025, is the first full day of spring since the equinox occurred partway through March 20. It's a nuanced distinction, but one worth noting! No matter how one looks at things, it is now Spring!

Bring on the flowers and the fresh spring smell. What a great shot to get us in the mood for planting. V

Looks like a great Spring project is underway.

To plant a garden is to hope in tomorrow - at least you have something nice to look forward to in your garden in these troubling times.
