It’s
the first week of spring! Of course, spring-like weather has been with us for
weeks now since winter really didn’t seem to be much of a force this year.
Either way, spring has sprung, and in my opinion this is the best time of year.
So, I highly recommend enjoying it. The days are getting longer. Temperatures are
on the rise. Winter is transitioning into summer. As a plant nerd, spring is
especially appealing, because this is the time when plants begin to come out of
their winter dormancy and look alive again. It’s also the time when
work really gets going in the garden. Now is your chance to get your hands dirty and
your feet muddy. If you’re lucky enough to have your own garden plot, then
you probably already have a plan and are itching to get going. If you’re like
me and have no plot to call your own, then you’re probably in a desperate search for
any kind of gardening experience you can weasel your way into. Lucky for me, I just
landed a job at Idaho Botanical Garden, so I’ll be getting my gardening fix
there on a regular basis. Still, I intend to find other gardening opportunities to go along with
that because I’m insatiable…either that or I’m a lunatic.
However,
if you’re not a gardener, there are plenty of other great things about spring,
including my other major passion: bike riding. Certainly you have your favorite
spring activities, so enjoy them while you can. After all, spring comes but once a year,
and as they say, you don’t know what you've got ‘til it’s gone.
