Thanks Blossom. We had dense fog on Tuesday morning also. It's going to be a warm week with temps around 80 everyday and lows only in the mid 60's. We were supposed to get lots of rain yesterday, but maybe had a tenth of an inch. I know you guys want spring, but I hope it doesn't get here too fast. You can grow just about anything here during the winter months, but it gets much more limited once May and June get here. Today I noticed buds beginning to form on the "Winter Sunshine Series" Sweet Peas. It's the third year I've tried Sweet Peas and haven't been successful before. Also noticed the Stock flowers are beginning to bloom. Never grown Stock before. The fragrance is amazing. Also trying annual types of Lupines for the first time this winter. Here's the first bloom on one of the "Sunrise" Lupine plants. These were fairly easy to grow. Just direct sewed the seeds in October and let them do their thing.
