Few places on the calendar have such an established aphorism as the month of March: "In like a lion, out like a lamb." While there are a few different origin stories to this folk saying, the observation still rings true in our region. Today on Growing on the High Plains, I'll offer some perspective on how the wily month of March means madness for many a High Plains gardener. 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.
