Few places on the calendar have such an established aphorism as the month of March: "In like a lion, out like a lamb."

Frequently, seasonal weather extremes lead to postponed plantings, suspended sports, and more than a few cases of agricultural anxiety. But despite grit in the wind and a growing impatience for impatiens, March means our darling Spring is on the way--and that's always good news.
