But 1 can’t think of a more appropriate or descriptive explanation. It’s best accomplished by kneeling on one’s knees, a sub missive position of humility, reflection, meditation. Surrounded by singing birds, sunshine and an overhead canopy of bright, blue spring sky, this first act of the sea son is almost a symbolic ceremony. And so, on a fine albeit chil ly early April afternoon, I could stand it no longer. Kneeling on a piece of cardboard to ward off the knee-numbing chill of the ground, I plunged the garden trowel into the soil for the first lime this year. Boy, did that feel good! Even while twin brooklets still gurgled around the borders of the vegetable garden and the back yard provided environment worth y of cultivating skunk (swamp) cabbage, soil in the sloped peren nial border had already dried to a wonderfully-soft, crumbly texture. Its fcw-square-fcet of readiness for planting inspired the purchase of a packet of sweet pea seeds. Hot, dry summers of most recent years had not been cooperative in providing the damp coolness needed for sweet peas to thrive and bloom with their wonderful fragrance. But this variety—which, as you might imagine, just jumped off the rack and into my wailing fist was for a “winter” variety, useful lor fall or early spring planting. That seemed a logical choice of something to plant to pacify the upsurge of gardening hormones, though fall and even early spring were already history. How could emerging seedlings have pushed through the ice and snow of February and March, any way, my itchy green thumb won dered? But, just in case they were a bust, a sprinkling of radish seeds went on top for good growing measure. One can’t fail with Lancaster Farming, Saturday, April 17, 1993-B3 those. Well, yes one could. The pack of four bachelor roosters promptly paraded past the mini-planting, eyeing the freshly stirred ground and warming up their sharp little clawed feet. They got shooed off, with a very specific warning about their potential as ingredients for a kettle of chicken com soup. This the same magnetism that yanks die-hard gardeners to our knees has sent farmers scrambling into their fields. Spin spreaders toss booster fertilizers over pas tures and established hay fields. Tractors lugging front-end buck ets and scraper blades maneuver piles of gravel and ballast stone into soggy mudholes in fieldroads and farm lanes. And from pens and storage lagoons, animal waste nutrients are recycled onto fields, to enhance the already-beautiful greening of the countryside and to further enrich the soil to produce crops of food for both man and beast. In one direction up the road, old fruit trees have been bulldozed in the orchards to make way for new er plantings. Growers began lift ing winter mulch from strawberry beds and checking asparagus for those first tender, luscious spears Off in the other direction, pota to producers are already behind schedule for the year. First plant ings of cool-loving spuds are often in the ground by late March, impossible this year when the only plowing underway was with snow equipment. Early or late, through years of wet and dry, love of the land springs anew for all who rejoice in yet another chance to sink their hands into Mother Nature’s good earth, whether it be to grow a thousand acres of com or two tomato stalks. Even the roosters can’t be denied that instinct to scralh and roll in fresh, dark earth. But if they don’t go somewhere other than my sweet peas planting, the only springtime ceremony they’ll get is final riles.
