Yesterday was the spring equinox (in the northern hemisphere anyway, in the southern hemisphere it's autumn). That means that the sun was directly above the earth's equator so the day and night were of equal length (although because the sun is quite a big disc rather than a mathematical point, in fact the day was about 14 minutes longer).But you don't visit Bean-Sprouts for an astrophysics lecture. The important point is that from now on, we get more light than darkness, the ground should start warming up and the plants should start growing. Winter is past and the growing season is here.

It SHOULD start warming up...colder now than it was a few weeks ago. Still as you say at least the daylight is increasing.
Someone tell the snow, please!
Waaaaah, yes, here in the Southern hemisphere the days are getting shorter and colder (although it was rather summery today still). I am in reading/planning phase for my future 'big' garden and have plenty of time over winter to decide how to do this (and do a cramming session to actually learn what to do haha!).
We woke up to snow this morning. But the weather forecaster on BBC 1 last night said that spring would be back by the end of the weekend. :)
It can't come quickly enough for me - warmer weather, longer days, sunshine, flowers, sangria in the garden...
