      Yeah my outdoor pepper plants, tomatoes have given new flowers and fruits.

      And garlic sprouts that refused to sprout during the summer heat are all popping out.

      The USDA published an updated zone map a year or so ago. We went from 6b to 6a, which I’ve taken as license to be a bit more adventurous with what I leave in the ground.

      We have a bed of cana lilies that still haven’t been killed by this year’s freeze. They usually die/get cut back to ground level and enough of them make it through the winter for the bed to reestablish.

      This year I’m trying my luck with two globe artichokes.
