One problem I have here in Victoria is in trying to figure out when I should start planting stuff in the veggie garden. This town has nice spring like days at intervals all winter long, a day like today lures me into wanting to do some work in the garden.
Living in Lillooet made all of this easier. Before April 1st it was winter. I had a clear several weeks at the end of April and the start of May during which I would get the veggie garden in. Here in Victoria it is a lot harder for me to get a good sense of when.
I suspect I would start with peas and spinach now. Radishes and lettuce may also work well, but do I really want to have the veggie garden going from mid February to mid November? That is nine months of the year!
On the upside, I will not be able to do much in garden over many of the next weekends because I will be off with the Scouts camping or at other events.

I planted snow peas and broad beans this past weekend... it's a bit too cold for onion sets, but I'll have them in the garden by the end of the month.
Then spring lettuce, spinach, radishes, etc.
You *can* have veg here year round in the garden... I am still harvesting potatoes, leeks, kale, and arugula.
