Spring

It's Spring, so what? The meaningless solution to a calculation in spherical geometry that may or may not have anything to do with you or your garden. The soil temp in ours is stuck at about 45 degrees and although I planted radishes today, any attempt at shovel work would be disasterous since the mud doesn't know anything about Equinocci. That's all just as well though because even in the 15 minutes it took to plant radishes, I was already completely relapsed into my gardening addiction and questioning why in the god-given world I ever thought I wanted to go back to school and trade dirt under my nails for nail-biting and pencil pushing on exams, intimate knowledge of earthworms for headscratching and brain twisting to write silly papers. Really it would be better to work with earthworms than with drug addicts, and, were the truth to be told, either one has about the same rehabilitation potential. Oh well, maybe the addicts will like the vegetables I'm going to grow--or perhaps I could open a "Psychiatric Help" booth down at the end of the driveway like Lucy and sell vegetables on the side.
Hic si stas, hinc eris.

Hope this finds you all digging. お春を大変よろしくに。。。
