While waiting for my feast mates, I wandered through the yard picking stray flowers and leaves for a small arrangement. Wow. I was surprised to find so much available - feverfew, honeysuckle, a lone Shasta daisy, winter jasmine, borage (!), primrose, heather, hellebore, plus lots of colorful fall foliage still hanging on. I was also able to harvest sage, thyme, marjoram, rosemary, and parsley for cooking purposes. Such a mild winter so far. I've only had 2 frosts, neither really a killing frost. Many of my perennials are putting on new growth, not sure how that's going to pan out...
