Berserk plants

Have your plants gone berserk?

My strawberries are big and sweet and warm and juicy and about two weeks early. The spinach has been excellent, but also a couple of weeks early and has gone to seed already. I'm eating delicious Swiss chard every day. There are beans, peppers, eggplant and tomatoes starting on all the plants. My blackberries are already ripe. At least they're too early for bears. Blueberries are out and the flowers are amazing. But what's going on? I have a few Chrysanthemums starting to flower and those usually flower in October if I remember correctly.

Can there be a hole in the ozone layer over my yard? I'm starting to wonder if I should replant a second crop. Will my yard become a jungle or turn into the the great 2010 dust bowl of Summer Street?

Guess I'll just have to wait and see.
