Ilona has a couple posts about the gardening she's doing between freezing spells, and the seed-starting she's doing inside.

Meanwhile, here in Modesto, it's been sunny the last few days, and the nursery has been dead! Hardly a soul here! We don't have frozen soil, or snow on the ground, our pansies are blooming, our roses are leafing out, and the first shipment of Spring/Summer perennials has arrived!

Are we spoiled or what?
