In the Spring Mode

It's just mid February, though it's feeling like full spring in Southern Oregon. Seems like we are about a month ahead of normal--whatever normal is. In the lower elevations, you can go ahead and plant peas and start planting bareroot. Now is a great time to stop by your local nursery to see what they have. If you haven't pruned your roses--now is the time. If you do use an oil on your fruit trees, in the lower elevations it's close to being too late. In the higher elevation, you've got about a month.
