Last Saturday we had the equinox where just for one day you get exactly the same amount of night and day: twelve hours of dark, twelve hours of light. Monty feels it's like a seesaw, and now it just tips down towards mid winter. It's not great for some of us but, there are plants that don't seem to mind at all. Plants like the cannas and tithonias - they will go on flowering until they get the first frosts.
