Okey-dokey!
I don't think our ground ever got good and frozen last year...so weird.
These are *jug* plants from last year...no way should that cardoon have been able to winter-over here, but I'm glad it did!
[BTW- OT, but funny! My photo program is possessed!
It knows which image I'm after and consistently races right past it...in either direction!!
I'm laughing, but it's almost to the point of being annoying!
