I guess the blues have gone away for you - now you have something to start 
"tending".  I've been trying to simply keep my duties to spring cleaning in 
the gardening rather than planting as I fear a surprise winter blast.  
Yesterday I began pulling back my winter hay mulch and was surprised by many 
seedlings.  As for as this winters oddities---I too experienced many.  Even 
though our winter has been relatively mild we did experience freezing temps 
(as low as 24 degrees) and several frost and I still have "alive" plants that 
are very sensitive to even the slightest bit of cold (Cat Whiskers, Salvia 
discolor 'Adrian', Musseandra).  I've been gardening for five years now and I 
would have to say that 1999 was my strangest gardening year yet - nothing was 
as before.

Happy Gardening

P.S.  Do you remember who was having the shasta daisy race last spring??
