Hmm. Maybe I should give jujube a try. Our season didn’t use to be reliably
that long; but now most of the time it’s longer. I’m not sure I’ve ever seen
-17 F here; and even negative low teens has become quite uncommon.

— and I’d like to say that it’s nice to see this list resurface in my mailbox!
