When exactly is the start of the growing season?

First off, the Earth is not flat. It is also slightly tilted on its axis of rotation.

As a result of those two things, the different parts of the globe receive different amount of sunlight as the Earth goes around the Sun in its annual cycle.

It is also important to note that the northern hemisphere and southern hemispheres experience the seasons at different times of year, while the closer you are to the equator, the less variance there is across seasons.

You also have to consider the fact that temperature triggers the growth of plants differently. Some plants go dormant when it is cold enough, while some plants go dormant when it is warm enough. They are known as winter-dormant and summer-dormant plants respectively.

With all of that said, there's an average temperature range that seems to trigger the dormancy and awakening of these plants. So as soon as any of those conditions are met, the natural processes start kicking in.

Here's what I was reading about the Melbourne temperatures:
