Welcome Spring!
For those of us in the northern hemisphere, Spring officially begins today Monday, March 20, 2012 at 7:21 p.m. with the Vernal Equinox. Vernal translates from Latin meaning Spring. The Equinox happens twice a year, once in the Fall and once in the Spring. The word Equinox translates from Latin words aequus which means equal and nox which translates to night. The location near the equator will have the most equal amount of daylight and nightime at this time.

It is not many years here in Minnesota we can step outside and know that Spring has arrived from the warmth of the air and buds on the trees.
This year we are taking advantage of the early warm weather and experimenting with inexpensive greenhouses aka plastic totes. At night, just pop on the covers..EZ! The idea began from reading a forum on the Garden Web where folks were tossing around ideas for early starts. This method looks like it will give us a good head start.
