Forårsjævndøgn, hvor dag og nat er lige lange, faldt - med sneen - tirsdag den 19. marts. Ifølge almanakken bevæger vi os nu ind i sommerhalvåret. Lærken lod sine triller høre i slutningen af februar. Et sted ude ved stranden, der nu ligger badet i sne.Alt dette sætter unægtelig sit præg på marts-udgaven af "Baltisk Have". Ikke uinteressant at tænke tilbage på, når sommeren (forhåbentlig) om nogle måneder indfinder sig. Bl.a. vil vi nok kunne aflæse den hårde frost i marts på vores udbytte af Hasselnød. Jævnfør foto af hasselbuskens hanrakler, der netop nu spreder deres pollen.Øvrige temaer:Drivedannelser på godt og ondtFrost forsinker støbning af gulvJapansk Pileurt tåler temperaturer ned til minus 35°C.

Men savbænken opfylder også andre behov, og det er det Februar-udgaven blandt meget andet fokuserer på - til forhåbentlig inspiration for gør-det-selv folket.Temaer:Savbænk anvendt til:Forsatsruder og -dørFlydende gulveIsolerende vægsektionerSnowrollers (kildehenvisninger)Erantis (kinesisk forår i kridttiden)Vintergæk (GM-kartofler)Japansk Pileurt (tornerose-søvn)Ginkgo Biloba (gentagelsens Karthago)
