Folklore & Phrenology Friday
We placed a call to the maple syrupers today but haven't heard back yet. The weather seems just about right now. Freezing at night and 40's during the day, but I don't know how long it will last. More snow may be coming. There is a hillpeople saying that if snow stays on the ground for 3 days it will be covered by another snow. If that's right then we may be shoveling off the garden to plant this year.
My family always planted lettuce on Valentine's Day. I thought that it was typical but I can't find many other people mentioning it. Certainly not on the squirrel's ear/oak leaf level. Even though I am now only about 100 miles north of where I grew up I can't imagine planting in mid-Feb here. And this year I have 3" of snow still to melt. Instead I started some basil, cilantro, broccoli and microgreens under lights.

Can't imagine planting anything yet. I don't dare put out pots before the middle of May, and even then I have to be prepared to drag them into the garage a time or two. That yarn you plied is beautiful, btw.
