February is the month for anticipation and March is the month for participation. Spring is on the doorstep and new green shoots are preparing to burst into bloom. On warmer days you can get out and tackle some winter pruning and on the cold and windy days, take the time to plan your spring garden.
It's true that the days are getting noticeably longer as well as feelings of anticipation of the new spring season. It is a great time to wander around the yard and look at the buds beginning to swell. It is tempting to want to sow some seeds, but don't get in a hurry--we can have some more very cold days and even some snow. And even though our days are warming up, our nights are still very chilly. Keep a watchful eye around town for the bright yellow Forsythia bushes, red Texas Quince, and the Pink Almond--they are usually the first color to burst here in eastern New Mexico.
