Just finished planting seeds today  --  2 months later than usual.  Imagine my
surprise when, opening the winter frame (a mesh-topped enclosure open to the
weather), I found two sprouts in a pot left over from a previous year.  One
has three leaves, the other two, and both are less than 3 inches tall, so I
must conclude that they have sprouted during the last couple of weeks.  Never
had fall sprouts before.  The pot was completely shaded, so I moved it to the
opposite wall of the enclosure, where it will get winter sun and warmth
reflected off the wooden wall, and gave it a light covering of pine straw.
The low was 22 last night.  It warmed up to 39 today.  Plum Wine bloomed today
