Spring Season

The Spring Season is my favorite of all four seasons! The weather warms up from the dreary cold, rainy and snowy weather, and you can spend more time outside.

The land comes alive in Spring, with grass turning green and early flowers like daffodils, tulips and California poppy's and other wildflowers bringing beauty back into your life!

Fun Facts About Spring

• Spring is associated with Easter a Religious Holiday that is associated with the death, and resurrection of Jesus Christ. He was crucified on the Friday before Easter (Good Friday), and arose from the dead and ascended into heaven on Easter Sunday.

• The first day of Spring in the Southern Hemisphere is the first day of Fall in the Northern Hemisphere.

• The first spring flowers are typically lilacs, poppies, irises, lilies, tulips, daffodils, and dandelions.

• During the Spring, birds sing to attract mates and warn away rivals, so they are more vocal than normal.

Spring Foods 

Spring is when I usually start to eat lot of Salads.  I started Organic Gardening on my Homestead property in 2024, and my lettuces and kale did incredible. I planted them in the fall from seeds and had them produce all through the winter.  I swapped them out in early spring with new lettuces grown from seed and kept having salads until the heat got to them. 

Spring is the time to head to your local Farmer's Market when they open, unless you are lucky enough to have a year round market.  In my town we have several farms that have farmstands that are open year round. The more I learn about food, the more I'm convinced that I need to grow my own Organic Foods without chemicals. Next best thing is finding an Organic farm in your area to purchase from. 

Spring Gardening

I'm a gardener, so Spring is my favorite season! The wildflowers are incredible with my favorite being the California Poppy.  Daffodils are one of the first bulbs to pop up followed by tulips. 

One of the things that I love about Spring is that depending on where you live in early Spring you still get enough rain and the weather is not so hot, that you have limited amount of watering that you have to do. Also, the insects are not as bad as they are in summer for gardening.

Right now on my homestead property, I do not have a water line down to the two places I have started planting fruit trees and gardens, so watering is tough!

Spring is the time to plant some of the cool crop vegetables like lettuce and to start seeds if you are growing crops from seeds, which is pretty easy and less expensive.

Spring Preparation

Spring doesn't have near as much preparation as the fall season does.

• Cars - If you live in snow country and you put on studded snow tires for winter, you can swap out your tires when the deadline to change them back is. Also you can put back on your regular windshield wipers.

• Clothes - In cold weather areas, you can put away your heavy winter clothes and boots and start getting out your cooler clothes.  If you have kids, now would be the time to try to hit up sales to get them some summer clothes that fit, as most kids are in a different size from summer to summer, and they will need them in the spring season as well.

• Garden - With spring comes the grass taking off, so when the grass is dry enough, it's time to start mowing and weed whacking again. I swear the second that the rains stop, my weeds grow at least six inches every day. I have a ride on mower, but I've gotten it stuck once when the ground was not as dry as I thought it was. It's also time to plant out the summer crops if you grow your own vegetables. Spring is the perfect weather to get out in the garden and plant flowers. 

• House - I think we have all heard the term "Spring Cleaning"! It's a good time to open up some windows and get fresh air in the house, and get started on some deep cleaning!

Spring Quotes

"Some old-fashioned things like fresh air and sun are hard to beat." ~ Laura Ingalls Wilder

"Spring will come and so will happiness. Hold on. Life will get warmer.       ~ Anita Krizzan

Spring Weather

Spring is the transitory season between Winter and Summer, so in most places that I've lived the weather can go either way.  Overall, the weather warms up as you head out of Winter, towards Summer, but you can still have those cold mornings and evenings and occasional rain showers. If you live in snow country, you can even see some more snow in Spring.
