So what's up with my peaches? They're throwing out heaps of new growth too and the strawberries are starting to flower!
Anyone else experiencing weird things in the garden ?

What the?
So, it's the absolute middle of winter here - and a (normal) cold one at that. We've had overnight temperatures down to 1'C (34'F) recently and mostly cold, overcast or wet days...

Um... yeah,
We have had a week worth of overnight frost and someone really local to me said that their almonds are budding up and getting ready to flower. Now almonds are early.. but not this early.
At my place the weirdness is that one of my potted grapes is budding up to shoot leaves.. way too early on this one.
Kind Regards

My strawberries are flowering too!? Weird?
We also have flowers on our strawberries and new passionfruit on the vine, we have galangal flowers and it is winter here in Adelaide!!
Some times during the day it is almost tropical!!
Yes flowers on my strawberries too!!!
We had this same thing here in Houston, Texas last year after Hurricane Ike came through. Plants all started putting out new growth and blooming again. Weird.
Everything is two weeks late this year, and a lot of the trees are have put out half of the leaves they did last year. It's also been raining almost every day for going on the third week now...
ON, Canada
Im in Brissie - and i noticed ysterday our peach and nectarine are covered in buds. also plants i normally grow over winter arent doing as well - some are bolting, others - like tomatoes and peas are slower than usual and are not getting many flowers at all.
South Coast NSW, and our apricot tree is in flower, and the grape vines are budding already! Noooo, not yet...
I'm on the Central Coast and have actually got a few ripe strawberries. Delicious but a little watery after all the rain!

I've had ripe strawberries here in Brisbane already. Only a couple, but yeah, weird. My peach tree is budding, and so is the mulberry. I've even had one or two freak ripe mulberries. Seems a little weird to me, but I also recall being surprised by it last year too, so I don't know.

Hello everyone,
Thanks for your feedback - it seems I'm not the only one experiencing some odd things in the garden! I could understand it if we had been having an unusually mild winter with high temperatures, so it's got me stumped.
Cheers, Julie
