Looks like you are having a cold spell. We've been fortunate the last week or two with the nice weather we've been having and another week of nice weather predicted. Have a number of early spring flowers in bloom and this morning A saw a lot of daphies in bloom down the road a piece. I'm sure we'll regret it in a few weeks as the fruit trees stat to bloom and a frost hit us.
Sounds like Oregon is way ahead of us, I'm really getting the fever to start gardening, but that's another two months off around here then I will put out some garlic and maybe some potatoes and sweet peas, can't come too soon.
Here in the Western valley we normally have a fairly mild winter as our winter weather comes out of the SW. We're about a month away from being able to plant early season veggie crops and main season crops usually don't get planted until late April to mid May.
I got out on the garden yesterday and broke the ground with the tiller. Should help out with the soil drying out to where I can work it better.
The daffodils I saw this AM are about 2 weeks early for the early varieties and some won't be blooming for a month. All the stores are getting in there first batch of spring plants. I'm getting ready for spring.
