The weeds are out in abundance now, probably on your lawn too! Back in March, you would have noted your first Dandelion in flower, surrounding Daisies enjoying the spring sunshine. Now the first crop of Dandelions have gone to seed, these seeds blowing in the wind, settling in your lawn, ready to develop into the next crop of weeds. Spring arrived early this year. While March 21st is traditionally the first day of spring, the astronomical event that marks the turn of the seasons – the Vernal Equinox – occured at 11.44 on Friday the 20th March.
As their name suggests, the two equinoxes of spring and autumn are the points when day and night are of equal length – at least north or south of the equator, where light and dark are a lways in balance.
