The early bird gets the worm and the Worm Moon gets the early Bird. Today is that Worm Moon and I am that Bird.

• Full Worm - March Moon As the temperature begins to warm and the ground begins to thaw, earthworm casts appear, heralding the return of the robins. The more northern tribes knew this Moon as the Full Crow Moon, when the cawing of crows signaled the end of winter; or the Full Crust Moon, because the snow cover becomes crusted from thawing by day and freezing at night. The Full Sap Moon, marking the time of tapping maple trees, is another variation. To the settlers, it was also known as the Lenten Moon, and was considered to be the last full Moon of winter.

Today I planted a round of Sunflowers outside and transplanted a couple tomato sprouts to wider deeper pots inside. Tomatos readily grow roots from their stems when they get covered in soil, so at each replanting I set the sproutlets deeper and cover the stem to develop a robust root system.
My Red Radishes that I planted outside 2 weeks ago on the New Moon are up today and the Peas are hard at work & in fine fiddle.
Racoon is right to question me on one point, and that is whether I can keep up the enthusiasm.
We will see what we will see.
