02-12-2017 Summer day in spring!
As I write, it is 82°; three years ago today we were going through a major (by local standards) snow event.
Today flowers started blooming in earnest:

11-04-2016 Winter garden and some plant confusion.
We haven't had any rain since the hurricane but, temperatures being a little cooler (some of the days), things don't look bad in the garden.
In a normal year, frost would already have devastated all of our summer colors but, right now, they're all hanging on.
I finally filled my last raised bed last week (What am I gonna do for fun from now on?) and all beds are planted/sown with some really promising greens...some we have tasted already like the baby kale, cutting lettuce, onion tops, new parsley and even one small endive.
On the confusing side, the long summer drought followed by heavy hurricane rain (7 1/2 inches here!) has caused some of my neighbors' azaleas to re-bloom and one of my irises to confuse November with March.
