Despite temperatures in the 60s on the NCR yesterday, Mother Nature is reminding us this morning that despite climate change early March can still pack a weather punch. Blowing snow and temperatures dropping steadily into the 20s made the morning drive a little chancy. Lows near 0 this weekend will put any fantasies about outdoor gardening to bed for the moment. I did dig a few parsnips last night and confirmed the soil was thawed. However, there will probably be a few inches of frost by Monday morning. This freeze-thaw cycle will no doubt snap the tap roots on the spinach in the garden, leading to a die off later this month. In the meantime, indoor projects will take up time until later in the month.
