Yesterday was "Resurrection Day": the first day of what can truly be called "Spring".
I know the calendar doesn't say so, but I seldom think about these things conventionally. The first day of Spring is the day on which the biome in the soil come back to life and you can smell dirt in the air. Calling yesterday "Resurrection Day" would be a better way of thinking about the beginning of the Spring growing season than "springing forward" or waiting for a calendar date to tell you. The microbes can tell you when Winter starts and when it ends. Just be aware. Smell the air for signs of life and you will know.
Plants can grow in winter, but the real fun happens when the soils become active. And since last night was also a full moon, then today is the first day to put spring vegetable seeds into the soil, there isn't likely to be any more frost.
