mid-spring
Between equinox, summer
Mid-spring refers to the middle portion of the spring season, typically April in the Northern Hemisphere or October in the Southern Hemisphere.
It marks the point when spring is fully established but not yet transitioning to summer—trees are leafing out, flowers are blooming, and temperatures are reliably mild.
By mid-spring, the garden was bursting with tulips and daffodils.
