Went out to the gardens. Transplanted tomatoes, peppers, and eggplants remain alive, though less robust than I had hoped they would be. There are radish sprouts, probably some yellow squash sprouts. Couldn't tell about the lettuce. One early sprig of a flower stem in the desk planter boxes. By the front door, abundant mint, rosemary purchased as a plant holding its own, some sage growing, along with the thyme I had planted around the perimeter of the basil pot. Some dill, some parsley shoots.
At Zone 7a, I'm past the freeze. Yet recent chill and precipitation have inhibited additional plantings. I want to grow the tomatoes, pepper, and eggplants from seed this year. In fact, all but rosemary and the mint from seed. Eventually the weather will warm, a few dry days will allow additional seed into the Square Foot Garden grids, along with carrots and beets in a separate area. Plants have a way of withstanding whatever the skies sent to them. They do less well with garden pests, but not much for the insects and bunnies to munch on yet. Won't be for a while.
