Joyce B'
Calling it a spiritual happening
may border on irreverence.
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.
