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.

Got a few bleeding hearts that are still in full bloom - they were supposed to be done with that in June at the latest...

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.
