It's officially spring, in fact it has been for a couple of days. I guess I can't remain in denial about that. However, it has snowed in NYC in April quite a few times, although the latest date, April 25, which saw 3", was in 1875.
For some reason it makes me think of in the '60s when my mom (& many others) had a garden. All the moms grew potatoes & sometimes carrots. That's it. Potatoes & carrots. One, potatoes were the cheapest thing you could buy. Two, they always got pulled up way too early because no one knew how to anticipate a harvest.
