Interestingly, the taller sugar snap pea vines (right) died, but the babies are fine:
A few (pitiful looking) romaine lettuce starts remain:
Daffodils, of course, weren't fazed at all:
Crocosmia imitated the peas - older foliage died (see bottom right), but the little ones stalwartly carried on:
I was thrilled to find these tiny signs of life on a clematis planted last year:
While cataloguing the survivors, I also did a little cleanup of the not-so-lucky. I cut down the black-eyed susans and harvested some seeds:
When I uploaded this picture, I was surprised to see a couple of white cat hairs in with the seeds. I guess a good camera reveals more than the naked eye!
TGIF!

Isn't it thrilling to see those bright green shoots emerging? Spring will be here soon.
I think it is funny to see some things that the camera picks up that the naked eye misses.
Glad to see you have some sprouts coming up....here's to spring!
It looks like your garden did great during your cold weather. I found a Sweet Pea sprouting where I planted it last year!
Your pictures are great, aren't new cameras fun?!
I found on some of my bushes that the leaves that are higher up are fine but the lower ones are freeze damaged. Seems strange. I hope to see some signs of life in my clematis like you have. I'll be awfully disappointed if they don't make it as I've been babying them for a couple of years! All in all, looks like the damage wasn't TOO severe in your garden, whew!
Isn't it a good feeling to see signs of new life in the gardens.
Beautiful photos. Good luck.
I am so thrilled about my new gloves and the seeds you sent. You are so kind Ginger.
