March is a notoriously fickle month for weather, but one thing that always comes, rain or shine, is the first day of spring — even if it doesn’t feel like it.

Despite three back-to-back-to-back Nor’easters just weeks ago, the first day of spring — which falls on Tuesday, March 20 this year — is officially here. The first day of spring is called the vernal equinox (sometimes also referred to as the spring equinox or March equinox) and it is almost always either March 20 or March 21 (though it will fall on March 20 for the next two years in a row, according to the National Weather Service.)

The warm weather ushers in the opportunity to spend more time outdoors, especially with longer hours of sunlight.

Here’s everything you need to know about the first day of spring:

"As long as the roots are not severed, all is well. And all will be well in the garden... In the garden, growth has it seasons. First comes spring and summer, but then we have fall and winter. And then we get spring and summer again."

Yes, there will be growth in the spring!
