  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.

 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.

After a few unseasonably warm and sunny days during this early spring period, the crappie might be found right up near the bank.

 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.

 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.
