I took these pictures last week before the cold snap arrived. It is hard to believe that it was snowing just two days ago. All of my plants seem to have weathered the cold with little damage. I did cover the tomato plants with thermal row cover fabric, so they should be fine.<\/p>\n

We planted this smoke tree two years ago, and it, and the other one we planted at the same time, are both doing wonderfully. These trees are so pretty, and they do well in the hill country.<\/p>\n

I have several regular garden sage (the culinary variety) planted in the east and north facing beds in our front yard, and not only are they evergreen, but this year they are all blooming!<\/p>\n

I planted this knock out rose in a pot last summer, and transplanted it to the back yard this spring. The snow on Saturday did not even phase it.<\/p>\n

We planted this coral honeysuckle four years ago, and it is now well established. It is native to our area, and is a favorite of hummingbirds.<\/p>\n

I love the way fennel, parsley, and dill attract caterpillars. I got a few good shots of swallowtails on my fennel.<\/p>\n
