Heheheh, yeh, it's one of the local phenology signs. For decades people knew when my beard was finally trimmed the air temperature was just right, the ground temperature has warmed up enough, and the coolness of the nights was just enough to encourage abundant fruit production.
Unfortunately one year I trimmed my winter beard in February for a school event my daughter was in. Dang if people didn't set out their tomatoes. And, of course they all froze. It's been over ten years now and some of those folks haven't spoken to me yet.
Won't be long now!
