I just have fruit trees, no crops. But this has been a really weird year. "Summer" at my house didn't even start to happen until mid July or so, and nights and mornings are still fairly cool. The figs on my tree normally start to ripen around mid-July and are done the end of July or very beginning of August. This year, the're mostly still green, just starting to ripen and quite a few aren't ripening fully at all (looking nice and dark but all woody fiber inside) Avocado tree bloomed when it was still chilly, and few bees were about. Should have had a few hundred this year, will be more like a couple dozen. <sigh>
On the other hand, a lot of the orchids have been really happy, and pleasant for humans too.
