I edited the setup for this block and see that the Spring and Summer dates I entered show as counting up not down?

If the gauges count up it means you entered a date in the past

Try replacing the periods . in the time with colons :
2018-03-20 11.16;2018-06-21 05.08
2018-03-20 11.16;2018-06-21 05.08

Hi,
thanks Gus, yes in PHP you must use a colon, not a period.
