afternoon, the eighth of april
dark furrow
old knowledge preserved
early spring
the soil warms. the light returns longer each day.
what was sleeping is not sleeping anymore.
mild with a chance of anything. spring weather changes its mind.
the moon is waning gibbous, 60% lit.
the sun rose around 5:40 am and sets around 6:20 pm.
12h 39m of daylight today. +2.3 minutes from yesterday.
fog lifts from the creekrevealing green where there wasnothing just last week
pull early weeds while they are small. they are easier to kill than to forgive later. ❧ early spring work is preparation. the season is not asking you to rush. it is asking you to be ready. ❧ when the leaves turn their pale undersides to the wind, a storm is near. the trees feel the humidity before you do. ❧ leeks and potatoes into a slow pot with thyme
cabbage moths, white and innocent-looking. they are not innocent. ❧ do not plant now. the roots will scorch. ❧ the moon is waning. harvest what is ready, cut herbs for drying, prune what needs shaping. the energy is drawing inward. what you cut now heals faster.
