For meteorologists and climatologists, spring begins on March 1 and goes through May 31. So for us, it’s happy spring to you all! And this year it sure looks like it, with many flowers blooming, including the peach trees at the UGA Horticulture Farm in Watkinsville GA. Now we are hoping to avoid a late frost that could impact fruit production this year. If you would like to know why we use the calendar months of March through May, you can read this NOAA article that explains the differences.
