| Several of the perennials that usually show up in July in my yard have been blooming for a week or two already. Anyone else seeing this? |

| Yes, noticed it first with the lilacs blooming about two weeks earlier than usual. But the lack of rain has slowed other things down. |

| It's the same here spartangardener... We're leaving on vacation for a week, and I have plants starting to bloom that I am worried about being DONE blooming by the time we get back! |

| No question - my gladiolas (though these are an early type) are blooming and so are my begonias - unusual only that I over-winter my corms and start them inside myself - they are about a week early. Heck, I have heirloom tomatoes with blossoms already, and Charentes melons. Not to mention I've harvested two small batches of pole beans already! -Marie |

| Everything is blooming earlier. And I actually harvested all my honeyberries on May 25th! |

| Golly gosh! Our lilacs are done blooming and its not even the 4th of July. ;) |

| The last of my lilacs were gone over a week ago. Does seem early. Veronica, Salvia, Siberian Iris, TB iris, Oriental poppy, dianthus Firewitch, dianthus deltoides, Bouncing Bette, mock orange are all blooming; wild forget-me-nots are pretty much finished. And the Asiatic lilies are showing color on the buds. I didn't keep a good garden calendar last year, but I'm ahead of the 2005 dates. |

| Annual crops have been slow, perennials way ahead of usual. Been harvesting North Star Cherries for several days now. I usually don't start till after the Fourth. Strawberries are all most done and have picked a few blueberries. I went back into my records and all the berries are about two weeks ahead of schedule. However, I am still waiting on carrots planted April 1st... |

loodean,
That's the problem everywhere - the CSA I work at is having serious trouble with their carrots, beets etc and the radishes are ALREADY done! We had two weeks worth when we normally get 4-5. The heat and dryness aren't allowing them to germinate properly and when they do, it's slow growing. The snap peas are in bad shape, lots of pods - but no rain so they are mostly empty. They are in Osceola and seem to have gotten even less rain than we have here in northern St. Paul. -Marie |
