After the Annunciation - it’s the perfect time to start the new growing season. According to folk wisdom, after this holiday, the earth awakens and blesses everything that has been sown, helping it grow.

It’s fitting that today we began planting sunflowers and sugar beets.

We’re hoping for good germination, favorable weather, and a bountiful harvest.
