Sign of spring: Bees buzzing around

On calm March afternoons, it is common to see a few bees stretching their wings and scouting around. On pleasant March days they are very active. The Carolina Jasmine, hyacinths and jonquils are blooming and surely they will attract some curious bees out of the hives and hollows.

A bit of weather lore about bees buzzing around in mid-March states that the next day we can expect cold, windy, and, perhaps some rain in the forecast. Using peat moss for early garden Cold weather vegetables can benefit from an application of organic peat moss in the furrow bottom and on top of seeds and plants to absorb moisture and improve texture of cool weather soil. Peat moss helps vegetables to sprout and germinate in the cold March soil and provide a great start for all cool weather vegetables.
