   In a normal year, around the end of June, my red raspberries bloom, 
closely followed by the black raspberries.  Then, in a few weeks, the 
blackberries begin blooming.  This year, however, the blackberries have 
started blooming with the raspberries appearing to be on schedule.  Anyone 
care to guess what might cause the blackberries to bloom early?
