[After] The Big Freeze revisited

It’s been a while since The Big Freeze killed most of our garden plants back in January this year (while we were away); Margaret did a lot of trimming, digging up / discarding and replacing, and Florida has since done a lot of growing … much of our front and back garden now looks good (though many plants are not yet as big as they used to be). Here’s a look at how things are now (and a bonus pic of the potted plants on the back patio, which suffered less but are also recovering):
