My spring bulbs bloomed about a month early here near Chicago - and that was before our string of 80° days in March. Temperatures seem to be a little closer to normal now but everything green got at least a month's advance.
Rhubarb is just about ready to pick and walking onions have been for a couple weeks now.
I even direct seeded broccoli which is about 4" tall now.
Yesterday I picked the first radishes. I could be thinning lettuce and spinach any day now.
I've got some tomatoes and basil in the ground and I'll have to cover them if we get any risk of frost.
But who knows what weather the summer will bring. At least we've had some recent rain and now the weeds are really taking off!
