I have already been picking rasberries for my breakfast cerial. It also seems to me that this is way tooo early here in the UP. :hubba:
Is anyone else getting these early berries???
I dont believe in this global warming stuff at all, but this season, stuff seems to be about 2 -3 weeks early??? :hubba:

Hola P A
The seasons in the UK have been shifting for a while now, flowers out before they should be, sudden crazy snowfalls in between sunny days, when I was a kid we had snow in december, now its march, global warming does exist, maybe not caused by what the specs say, but something is shifting the earths diary, I have looked myself and in the past nature had its hot and cold periods, usually every 400,000 years, but since man has been 'revelutionalised' it has become a major developement in weather change, just coincidence?

Mankind certainly has changed the weather conditions though greater part of this change is caused by periodic cold and hot climate changes of mother's own system.
As far as I know we are at the end of hot period, it will get hotter and hotter just before dramatically change for very cold period.

I mean just this year, we had snow clear into may, temps were just as before but my rasberries have been very early??? I dunno, it's probably that shift from lunar to solar calendars that has em off a bit :rofl:

We have raspberries right now to. A bunch are ripe. I'm going to my mom and dads tomorrow to pick some. I want to make a pie. MMM They are so good. Our cherry trees have loads of cherries on them as well.:eek:
