Plough Monday was not just a normal day of work though. Particularly in the North it was celebrated with a procession of &#8216;plough boys&#8217;, with a decorated plough and team and known as &#8216;Fool Plough&#8217;. Mumming, sword dancing and foolery propelled people back to work.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Here is a lovely recipe for a &#8216;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.lavenderandlovage.com\/2019\/01\/norfolk-plough-pudding-for-plough-monday.html?fbclid=IwAR3ifRjXKdXfisRMnlR5gXSHNUud8zaKVoaSUoroPBnsH77KkPh3pBCWZ5k\">Norfolk Plough Pudding<\/a>&#8216; brought to my attention by Sue  Walker.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Christmas\/Mid Winter break went on for some until Candlemas in early February, and in Jane Austen&#8217;s day the school boys had a 6 week holiday at Christmas much to the distress of Mary Musgrove in &#8216;Persuasion&#8217;, Chapter 18. She complains bitterly of children being left with her during the long winter holiday.  But as it was written on 1st February I will leave the joy of that great FOMO letter till then.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This is a period when the world is dead but underneath the ground the bulbs are stirring. This year in London, after a very warm period, we have had a lot of premature budding.  In my local park Euphorbia&#8217;s have been budding, there is blossom on a Japanese Cherry Tree and on a Bear&#8217;s Breech. The Park has a high wall facing south and this does provide a very sheltered spot but even so!  In my arctic, North-facing garden some geraniums, and fuchsias are hanging on, and I have two white flowers on my <em>Convolvulus<\/em> which is unheard of.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div

href=\"https:\/\/urbanecologycenter.org\/blog\/false-spring-how-plants-react-to-unseasonal-warmth.html\">A false spring<\/a> can cause major disruption to agriculture.  Plants put a lot of energy into surviving the winter so they can bloom in the spring. If they are fooled to bud early, the plant will pay a cost when the cold weather comes back, and this will mean either no flowering or fruiting later in the year or a reduced yield. Caitlin Reinartz, (follow the link above) says &#8216;the false spring of 2012 caused an estimated $500 million dollars of losses in the orchards of Michigan.&#8217;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>But as we saw Distaff Sunday is the day that women traditionally went back to work and Plough Monday was the men&#8217;s turn. 2022 it was on the 10th January.
