Hey Mastodon, can I tell you a fact I've been obsessed with since I learned it last year? You know that time in early spring when you just wake up one day and suddenly everything is green, as if it happened overnight? That happens when we have 10 hours of daylight - that is the magic amount that encourages everything to grow. The day when we have 10 hours of daylight is sometimes called "Persephone Day" - it's when she returned from the underworld!
@woodsiegirl Grass starts and stops growing at a temperature. One year recently something happened at the 'wrong' time because it was too warm.

Thanks for sharing! We just had our Persephone day here in Seattle on Saturday. This explains why everyone has to mow the grass in their curb strips in the end of February.
@woodsiegirl Syracuse, NY has 10.5 hours of daylight now, and NOTHING is green.
