recommendation from March

[navi tasan]

I am following your recommendation from March.

Can this sentence mean two things:
1-From March on, I will follow your recommendation.
2-I am following the recommendation you made in March.

Gratefully,
Navi,

I am following your recommendation from March.

Can this sentence mean two things:
1-From March on, I will follow your recommendation.
2-I am following the recommendation you made in March.

Gratefully,
Navi,

They mean two different things:

1. It is not yet March. When March comes, I will start to follow your recommendation (we have no idea when that recommendation was made).
2. March is now in the past. Whatever month it is now, I am currently following a recommendation which you made in the previous March.

If your main sentence is "I am following your recommendation from March", then only sentence 2 has the same meaning.

Thank you Emsr2d2,

Now if the sentence were

A-I will follow your recommendation from March.

it would be ambiguous, wouldn't it?

Gratefully,
Navi.

Yes, that is ambiguous. It either means:

At some point in the future, I will follow a recommendation you gave in March.
or
In (From) March, I will begin to follow a recommendation you gave (at an unspecified time).
