range. I have my garden plowed. The grass is showing green shoots. Stores have racks of seeds and the nurseries even have trees and shrubs. Why not plant

garden early?

Having lived here most of my life, I have learned to read some signs. One of the first signs of spring is the cranes going north. They usually proceed

weather changes by about 6 weeks. How­ever, unless I am outside and hear their purring call as they fly high overhead, I can miss that sign. Another reliable

sign is the ice being completely off the lakes and reservoirs. This sign seems to hold true throughout the country. The freeze will not go out of the ground
