| We are a small organic farming operation that grows & donates food to our local foodbank. The current conditions are very helpful for the vegetable crops. Less than normal amounts of additional water have been needed to keep the raised beds irrigated & producing due to the continued rain/drizzle activity. |

| The backyard is rather wet and the soil is soft. We are flipping between 60F and 25F so we are in a nightly frost/thaw cycle. We are waiting to see how bad the spring floods are going to be before cleaning up the yard and putting out fertilizer and weed killer. The deer and turkeys are finding plenty to eat in our yard. |

Birds continue to gather at the birdbath, with more species appearing as they migrate through the area or work on their nest-building. |

Our daffodils as well as our forsythia are in bloom. Field grass has been quite slow to turn green these days due to near freezing temperatures at night.
Presently we are under an outdoor fire ban due to our dry conditions and extremely low humidifies. |

| Thus far in March, we have received 1.53" of precipitation. Most marketable crops need 1-2' per week. We are delaying planting of cool weather crops which means less income for the farm. In wooded areas, ground beneath litter cover the soil is very dry. In lawn areas and growing beds the soil is dry to below 7". Very worried about well water capacity since wells in our neighborhood are running dry |

| Spring has arrived. Cherry trees are blooming. Some have already begun to lose their petals this week. Buds on a pear tree at the station have sprouted, the apple tree is still in bud swell. Grass is a lush green, it has filled in and is growing. Numerous shrubs are showing new growth and blossums. Birds have returned but insects not so much. Soil temperature is 12°C. Skiing is still possible on the local mountains at 1000m+ elevation. The run time on the heating system at the station has been reduced to 12hrs this week. Temperatures continue to rise. Average daily mean last week was low 3.6°C, high 9.4°C. This week low is 7.1°C, high 13.4°C. Rainfall is 31% above normal this month. Conditions are lush with the ground generally draining well and vegetation using the ground water effectively. The total estimated evapotranspiration for March (26mm) accounts for 44% of this year’s total so far. |
