The Furkids are very tuned into weather and seasonal change. On March 20 this week, they celebrated the first of two Equinoxes for 2025. The word derives from Latin: ‘equi’ (equal) + ‘nox’ (night) because it’s the time of year when the sun is directly above the Equator at noon so day and night are of equal duration.
The Vernal Equinox (Spring) and Autumnal Equinox (Autumn) occur simultaneously but in different hemispheres. March is when the Northern Hemisphere transitions to Spring and the Southern Hemisphere welcomes the cooler temperatures of Autumn. It’s a time when gardeners in both hemispheres are looking forward to Spring/Autumn plantings so, the Furkids reasoned, what better way to celebrate the Equinoxes than with their award-winning* annual gardening tips for extra special gardens!
*This award doesn’t have a name yet (suggestions are welcome) but it is one they bestow on themselves and are very proud of it.

🥰😚 It’s here! Spring always brings out Michelle’s “Wonderful World of Whimsy!” I don’t garden, indoors or out, and I know there are hundreds of trees and plants that happily owe their lives to the fact that they never came in contact with me!! I have had more success with kitty seeds and puppy bulbs! 🥴🤭 I adore watching all the world pop up and grow…thanks, Michelle for starting it off! ❤️🩷🧡💛💚💙🩵💜
Absolutely Brilliant article Michelle….So great for the heart and mind…We are so lucky to see your work, Thanks so much
