    It's annoying though, because we got like two weeks of cold weather first, so most of my garden plants that would have done great in the extra warmth are dead already

      Yes :angery: I brought in my plants that can't survive <40 degree temps and left out the ones that need winter dormancy periods. well, the ones that were supposed to be dormant are now waking up again like "bro its spring again??" :angry-hex: :whywhywhywhywhy:

        Like if I knew it was going to be 80 degrees again in two weeks, I would have covered my peppers or something to keep them alive. But the day before first frost, the 10 day forecast just showed cold every single day, so I went ahead and pruned them to the ground. :deeper-sadness: I guess I should have expected this, but it's still annoying.

        And yet with all this heat in the fall, I still can't plant citrus trees in 7b. :marx-angry: It'll get cold enough to kill them for like two days through the entire winter, but that's apparently enough
