	Guo Xi's Early Spring
		Early Spring, done in 1072, is considered one of the great masterpieces of the Northern Song monumental landscape tradition.
		It is a rare example of an early painting executed by a court professional who signed and dated his work.
		The lesser, bending trees Guo Xi described anthropomorphically as holding one's creeds within oneself; the crouching, gnarled trees were seen analogous to an individual clinging to his own virtues; and the vertical trees were compared to those individuals who remain abreast of their environmental conditions (politics) and flourish.

		The genus Magnolia is one of the oldest on the planet and includes small shrubby trees that bloom in early to mid-spring, as well as majestic evergreen trees that bloom in the heat of summer.
		Deciduous magnolias that bloom in early spring are vulnerable to harsh cold weather.
		The male parent species, Magnolia stellata, is a large shrub that flowers very early in the spring and has between nine and 30 narrow tepals.

	Early Spring Pruning of Trees & Shrubs
		Spring lawn care is important, as early season care has a big impact on lawns.
		Spring also is a popular time for seeding new lawns, although it is not the most favorable time.
		Spring seeding can certainly work out very well, but oftentimes hot weather sets in before the new lawn is well established.

		The root in spring is mild but provides a hint of the bite to come in summer.
		It's a little scary to think that at age 44 I'm starting peas from seed indoors in a effort to embrace spring -- by 70 I'll probably be harvesting in the basement during a late snowstorm.
		Some of my early tomato plants were crushed during a storm by a fl cherry tree.

	Early Warning Signs of Global Warming: Spring Comes Earlier (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-14)
		Regional analyses show a trend toward earlier ice break-up and snow melting in spring that is consistent with the enhanced warming observed at higher latitudes (Nicholls et al., 1996).
		Spring snow cover in the Northern Hemisphere declined significantly from 1988 to 1994 relative to the other seasons, coincident with a strong spring warming (Groisman et al., 1994).
		A recent study of European spring and autumn plant phases indicates that on average, spring events advanced by about six days and autumn events were delayed by about five days over the period from 1959 to 1993 (Menzel and Fabian, 1999).

	Nitrate testing: early versus late spring
		Soil testing for residual nitrate in the fall or early spring is often recommended in regions that receive less rainfall than Iowa.
		Because Iowa subsoils tend to be saturated with water in early spring, three noteworthy problems may occur.
		Early spring tests for nitrate are appealing because they represent minimal departure from recommendations most commonly given in the past.

	Steep "Green Bridge" Alert!! -- Plan Fall or Early Spring Control! (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-14)
		Under minimum tillage or direct seeding of spring crops, the volunteer grain and weeds growing between crop harvest and spring seeding can serve as a "green bridge" host for root diseases and other pests.
		Growers should control this green bridge in late fall or early spring while maintaining surface crop residue to optimize water conservation -- in order to achieve the high spring crop yields now possible in much of the region.
		On-farm testing is an easy and effective way for growers to determine the yield benefits of early green bridge control with their tillage system, crop rotation and volunteer/weed situation.

	Early spring walley fishing by Sam Anderson for Walleyes Inc. (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-14)
		Spring walleyes are the first focus of fishermen as winter turns to spring.
		After the rest period, the walleyes are eminently hungry and that's when they move back to their spawning areas and the early spring action is at its best.
		Keep in mind that you must have an exact knowledge of the spring weather patterns so when you arrive at the lake you wish to fish, you know what stage the spring spawn pattern is at.

	Early Spring Crappie Tactics
		When the hot-stove league of baseball is heating up and spring training begins, the crappie fishing and the interest for it is beginning to heat up as well.
		The move into these areas during the transitional period between winter and spring is caused by certain stimuli in the fish that trigger their spawning instincts.
		After a few unseasonably warm and sunny days during this early spring period, the crappie might be found right up near the bank.

	too early spring lawn care
		Too early fertilizing can cause shrinkage of the roots, since stored food reserves is the roots are used with the fertilizer to make proteins for growth.
		In early spring, the bermuda does not make a lot of food reserves, even though the leaves are green.
		This is why it is important not to mow to closely, start fertilizing too early, or verticut bermuda early in the spring.

	Science Question of the Week - early spring? - March 12, 2004
		By the way, the length of time from one vernal (spring) equinox to another is referred to as the Tropical Year, and this period is the basis for the calendar we use today -- the Gregorian Calendar.
		However, it should be noted that the time difference for the start of spring from one leap year to the next leap year is only on the order of about an hour or less.
		Each of these are in their own way indicators of the onset of spring, but the dates when the peepers first peep and the crocuses first emerge vary from year-to-year, and so it is with the astronomical arrival of spring, which varies between March 19 and March 21.

	ESPN Outdoors -- Early spring jump-starts western bear season
		Bears have been out of their dens for as long as two months by now, and the same unseasonably warm, dry weather that ended their slumbers early has also accelerated habitat changes that are likely to make bear hunting this spring a challenge.
		In a normal spring season, a valid opening-week strategy would be to hike closed mid-elevation logging roads and ambush bears gorging themselves on greening grass and clover.
		Griz are known to make a beeline for deer and elk wintering areas in the early spring, to feed on winterkilled carcasses, but they often stick around these areas for later action on fawn and calves.

	28/1/2004 -- Early spring can make plants suffer
		THE news that we are heading for another early spring after premature sightings of primroses and snowdrops may be causing concern among many gardeners.
		It is unlikely that gardeners will lose a lot of spring flowers which have bloomed too early and then fallen victim to frost, he says.
		Flowers such as bluebells may be among the casualties of an early spring as they occupy the slot between the warming of spring and the leaves coming out on the trees.

	Bulbs for Early Spring
		Spring beauties are one of the earliest spring flowers to bloom.
		After some heavy rains last spring, my grape hyacinth (Muscari) bulbs, which have been in the ground for a number of years, started popping out of the ground.
		Since these bulbs are planted only a few inches deep, freezing and thawing of the ground, coupled with the soil washing away during spring rains, could have eroded soil around the bulbs and made it appear as if they had popped out.

		Until about 2000, the high-altitude meadow seemed to be resisting the pull of global warming, even though spring seemed to be blooming earlier at lower reaches.
		Due to heavier-than-usual snowfalls, the meadow was remaining blanketed in white even after the ever warmer spring temperatures arrived.

	High Tunnels for Early Spring/Late Fall Production (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-14)
		In contrast to a greenhouse which h double layer of plastic (or glass), a permanent heating and ventilation system, and other amenities like thermostats, lights, and multiple electrical outlets, a high tunnel is "sparsely" outfitted.
		In early evening, roll down the sides to entrap as much heat as possible; and continue to roll down the sides each evening until night temperature (outside) is up to 65 degrees F. High tunnels are not greenhouses; therefore, the expectations from a high tunnel are not the same as from a greenhouse.
		Summary High tunnels are a protected growing system that will provide about one month of earliness in the spring.
