February 19th-February 23rd, 2024 is Spring-USUI (Rainwater)-4th KOU “Rain moistures the soil.” It means that the soil will be moistened by rain instead of snow.
The soil in my vegetable garden seems to be getting wetter by the rain last weekend. That is a signal to start farming, isn’t it.
However, the spring weather in the HOKUSHIN region repeats normal-cold days and warm days (19 ℃ on the 15th, 18 ℃ on the 18th, and 20℃ on the 19th (in a normal year, the temperature is the same as in April ! ), and the weather forecast says it will snow this weekend and next week.
The field peas I sowed in early winter have sprouted and grown. I did some weeding around them.
