Bill -How about the link to your beautiful gardens? I have filed it away under" misc", and would love to see all those clematis! About wanting to plant something-I'm positively itchy! Remeber last year when I was afraid to put my seedlings out into ground?!LOLOL!!!!Now I am chomping at the bit. Got to be careful or I'll kill everything before it gets started! But- You guys gotta understand- One day it is 69 degrees and sunny. Then 65 for two pr three days and a bit cloudy then sunny and 72, then a little rain, then 50 and cloudy then sunny again then a bit of rain then sunny for f ew days and then we get 32degrees then sunny 72dgrees and then torrents of  rain for week then a week of 50 degrees and wind and then a week of sunny 65.Then just as you think you can bring out the house plants you get a hard frost warning so you rush to bring them back in and cover all your bouganvilla and ferns  and begonias with sheets and then it rains instead(!) and so you run out  at 2 in the morning and uncover everything and then it  goes hails at 10 the next  morning and kills  everything plus all the geramiums anyway.OR you NEVER have ANY frost the whole entire winter and you could have hardened year round   It is so confusing to be in Northern California in the winter.I am thinking about doing hoop houses oiver the beds with PVC pipes and plastic to warm up the soil and to maybe get things going sooner or at least to give what ever gets planted some consistency. Folks around here that do traditional gardening just don't plant things until April and then only a few things but don't plant most things until June which seems like such a waste of seasons to me considering how mild it is for so much of the year here.I know people do amazing things with cold frames and minigreen houses and such so I don't see why I can't try getting more out of the season --especially with raised beds- but then maybe I am just an idiot.,Suggestions welcome. By the way- my best to your family Bill-Teri
