An April Fool

Certified Organic vegetables, pollinators, and herbs from Peace Farms have arrived!

With only a few hours left in March, an April Fool awaits anxiously.   An April Fool can be impatient, impetuous, and at times devious.  An April Fool can be all those things and much more.  Despite any possible downside, we all look forward to April.  April brings certain transition; the cold moves steadily away, the absence of which, brings forth many a flower.  However, I have to admit something, I have been enjoying March; I hate to see it go.  I want to wring out every morsel March has to offer in these last hours; I am not an April Fool.

March is strictly business.  The word March implies a regular cadence.  Ever steady is the mantra March offers.  April starts off foolishly, and it can be all-downhill from there.  I enjoy having a laugh as much as the next, but if I ever find that April fool guy, I’m going to give him a piece of my mind.  March is all about, “What you see is what you get”. April starts off on the wrong foot; you are not an April Fool.

Halloween provides an option: “Trick or Treat”.  April can be a wolf in sheep’s clothing.  From a short distance, April looks very appealing.  To be sure, there is much to desire of what April offers.  Be wary.  Be prudent.  Even though April is sure to deal out some trickery, there are most certainly many treats.  So, let’s not look back, but rather ahead.  April is forthcoming, that is good news.  Let’s ponder gardening, these last hours of March; we are not April fools.

Perennials and annuals galore are arriving daily.  Even though we already have warm season vegetable plants on-hand, don’t be in too big of a rush, it looks like we might get a bit more cool weather, just in time for April! Whether you know what you want or not, make sure to take photos and bring along.  Our landscape professionals will gladly assist, advise, and inform.

Farewell March,
