Growing Pains: ‘Home growers’ have always been here, but thanks to some expert advice their numbers are growing like, ahem, weeds

Things to do this week.
Stagestruck: Plain Jane
Jane Eyre may be the most-adapted of 19th-century English novels, with dozens of film and TV renditions. But stage versions can do something the book does that screen versions don’t. Charlotte Bronte’s narrative is in the voice of Jane herself, and so is the play now at Hartford Stage.
Spring Arts Preview 2020
Spring is in the air. Sort of. In some ways, after a snowy start, it has felt that winter didn’t come at all. But with clocks about to change to Daylight Savings (on Sunday, March 8!) it’s time to come out of our shells and check out a good show or museum.

Unspooling at 9:45 — the late start alone should give you a sense that these aren’t Looney Tunes
Clueless Parent: Another one on the way
We’ve told our 3-year-old son. Sort of.

Basemental: Jesus Vio brings his ‘Dutch Science’ to the Pioneer Valley
The short video, a mere minute and 40 seconds, evokes a Where’s Waldo kind of style; where instead of Waldo being the variable to identify, it’s the location where Vio (wearing a different outfit in each location) is dancing.
The V-Spot: Something Borrowed, Something Lubed
Dear Yana, Hey! I have a lube question and I thought who better to ask? My friend is going to be losing her virginity on her wedding night and is wondering what the best lube out there is — especially considering she hasn’t used any before, is unsure of allergies, and...
