Thanks for the thread. Low 60s here in San Jose.

The fruit trees are in need of another cold snap and rain..

What to plant when buds start popping?

Eggplant. Squash. Tomatoe.

Radishes. Kohlrabi. Turnips.

I may get energetic in the garden early this year.

Or maybe not. :-)

I had high hopes for seed-starting and whatnot this winter, but right now all that I want to do is sleep. :)

Plant warm weather plants in the garden after last scheuled frost date. You can start seeds indoors for a head start.
Frost is an enemy to warm weather plants, especially if unprotected by covers, mulch ,cold frame, or a warm mico-climate(ie: brick wall facing south,behind windbreak,etc.
Cold weather crops: beets, radishes, turnips, lettuces, beans, are kinda "iffey" unless you start them indoors, and set plants out later, after frost.
