Can anyone enlighten me why it is about 8 weeks from the clocks being put back in Autumn, but we have to wait about 13 weeks before we can put them forward again. Why isn't it broadly symmetrical?
The equinox are March 22nd (Vernal) and September 22nd (Autumnal). December 21st is the Winter Solstice, shortest day and June 21st is the summer solstice, longest day.
My 22 year old son thinks that the longest day is Christmas eve, it's the waiting for the presents you see.
have a great Christmas all and happy New Gardening Year 2014.
