As spring arrives and the gardening year kicks off, there is still time to stand and stare
Finally there: actual undeniable spring. The sweet spot between the equinox and Easter. So the garden gods agree you should be pretty safe in the next few weeks to start sowing seed outside. With, of course, an eye, as always, on your most trusted long-range local forecast.
Perhaps just time, then, for a column in praise of patience. A call to sometimes stand and stare, to soak it in. To take time out in the sun or rain. To slow down. Stop and admire the blossom. There will be plenty of opportunities to do the garden things you need to do.
