Anyway, anyone else seeing the whole growing/blooming season moved up this year?
In Dorset (southern England) the Rosebay Willowherb is in full bloom and Himalayan Balsam are starting to flower. I don't keep a diary of flowering times but I think these are much earlier than usual.  Maybe Autumn is coming early to compensate for the late Spring, compressing the Summer. This year has been the driest for a very long time and I wonder whether soil moisture levels affect flowering times.
