Great link!  

Everything I've learned in phenology went out the window this year.  When you get 3x the normal amount of rain and have the rainiest June on record, build an ark or plant rice.

  There is substantial phenology research going on at OARDC/ OSU.  For those
  interested check out this site.  Lots of very cool information.

  Guineas begin laying eggs when the Redbud blooms.
  6 weeks?? till first frost when the frost flower blooms.

  I'd love to find a listing or compile one.
  We spent a lot more time tracking soil temps this spring for planting rather
  than just watching the calendar. (love the stats and charts in Johnny's
  catalog). Seems to have worked well. We planted summer squash too early last
  year and it sulked.
