Tom Fudge: The past couple of months have not been kind to plants. We've heard plenty of bad news about the effect of cold weather on California agriculture. With a combination of the cold and the lack of rain -- San Diego has only gotten two inches so far this season -- gardeners are up against quite a lot. Joining us to talk about the challenging weather, and hopefully bringing some good news as well, are our gardening experts.
