NY state. It happens every few years.

People joke about it. You can’t plant before Mother’s Day.

But nobody really thinks it’s very funny.

I’ve got flowers on my strawberries and my currants have berries on them already.

I’m going to cover the strawberries and blueberries but am not sure if I need to do anything about the currants.

The farmers around here are concerned about the fruit tree crop because it was so warm so early that a lot of them flowered early. It means good pollination I hear, but I hope they don’t lose the crop if it gets too cold.
