Today, March 20, 2025 is Spring Equinox in the Northern Hemisphere (that’s us here in Santa Fe). It represents the beginnings of spring and oh, how I long to see more ‘green’. The wind’s been particularly brutal this year in March. Hoping the wind and the juniper pollen will abate soon.

Spring Equinox is where the days and nights are equal in length so we will be getting longer days too from here on! I have written several posts on spring equinox that you can access here.

Weekly Weather Forecast-March 20

I’m getting a late start to starting my veggie seeds inside the house as I’m planting them by this weekend. Usually I start pepper/tomato seeds much earlier in March because they take longer to get to transplant size. But I just returned from a Paris and Berlin trip on Tuesday, March 18. Spring is just starting over there (a little, like here), not much budding yet.

But I did see one very inspiring garden outside Berlin while visiting my good friend Lava. I will write a post soon on this garden. It was fantastic.

Meanwhile the days and nights are still cold but the days are starting to get warmer this week. Yay! Time to shake off the winter blues and get busy in our gardens!

As they say, “Spring Has Sprung”, and I’m recharged and ready!
