Blooming ahead of time?

Dear Janice:

According to our local gardening talkshow,
Newfoundland gardens are about 
3 weeks ahead of schedule. We had an 
unusually mild winter and the effects are 
noticeable in my garden, too. Many plants that
normally bloom late in the summer are up
and at it. One example, Sedum acre is about
to bloom! I don't normally see these yellow 
starburst flowers until July-August or later.

Anyone else?
