Raspberries are at last starting to ripen. Usually they begin just before mid June, so are a week late. I have picked a meal's worth of Horse Mushrooms from my lawn. These are about 3 months early. And I have a huge crop of potatoes, much earlier than usual. What on earth is going on? I know we have had some very strange weather this year, but some things early and and others late makes no sense to me at all. Comments, please?
