Actually, you do have winter.

Seasonally it's colder than the other three seasons, there is a distinguishable difference between day and night temps, and you have diminished daylight hours.

Where you are winter is milder and gentler than those of us who are in colder regions, but it is still winter. You don't need snow or ice to winter sow.

Check out the FAQs for seed lists and information on how to WS.

I am in NC and I know the temps that you are talking about - I sow mostly towards end of January/February (perennials) and the tender annuals closer to March (even mid March)... I have had no problems and even with no snow you can wintersow - no problem.

Thanks, i think i am just icthing to get my hands dirty! I don't have anymore room inside so I think winter sowing might just be the trick. I will experiment with some seeds and see what happens......
