Oh dear, the Ides of March is similar to Friday the 13th, I will certainly try to keep myself safe that day.....just like that wise lion ☺ But Spring brings with it awakening, growth and new beginnings...so it's something beautiful to look forward to as well.
I have noticed the cherry trees and the almond trees have already blossomed and it's still officially winter here! Unfortunately, we do get frost at this time of the year and it's worrisome because it can destroy the flowers which will then yield fewer fruits🍒🙁
That would be logical and a good preventive measure. I recall reading that grapevines go into hibernation in winter, slowing down their growth...maybe it's nature's way of protecting them. But still, heavy snow and long lasting frost can harm them so any way of preventing damage would surely be a good decision☺👍
