Hard Frost

It's been well below freezing lately in our normally sunny climes, so there may be more than a few casualties in the garden. Fortunately, my tastes run to heavy zone denial and I have a lot of stuff that really prefers a winter chill, so most of the confirmed kills so far are in the poppy bed.

The California natives are taking it all in stride. These seedlings from annual Penny Black are doing just fine.

And the poppies are starting to come up again (they're perennials, but also self-sow).

Also showing their faces (um, sort of) are the various allium I planted this fall.

And I think these are something else but didn't look at the tag before leaving home.

They all seem to have weathered the frosts nicely, thank goodness.
