I picked about a half pint of raspberries today and my potatoes are starting to bloom

I think we're a couple of weeks ahead of schedule around here (Madison, WI).

1. My raspberries are still green and hard

so it will be a while before I get any (W PA). Usually it is 4th of July for berry picking, so I will start watching earlier. I am noticing many of my indicator dates are off----almost two weeks earlier on many things.

But there is no global warming.

2. I have a lot more raspberries that are still green and hard

Only about 1/12 of the berries on the vines (at most) were ready. Some were already overripe, so I think I'm going to have to start checking for ripe ones every day for the next few weeks.

3. Our blueberries are a month ahead. Potatoes are fine but not blooming.

The squash are full of blooms, the carrots and shallots are in early stages, and we just planted our tomatoes and peppers. I've still got annuals from last year that never stopped blooming. We didn't have a winter. Shit's fucked up.

4. I've been picking a pint or so of blackberries daily for the last couple of weeks.
