This is essentially a creative photo blog plus few words. It is about Sandra and Denny's gardens and surrounds. My granddaughter Adelyn calls me "Poppop", hence the blog name.

Knee high and pregnant!

I'm talking about the garden! The early corn was knee high by fourth of July. We have three varieties growing: "Chorus" (67 days), "Augusta" (78 days), and "Silver Queen" (82 days). I have never timed corn to see how accurate the seed package estimates are, but I do know that early corn always does seem to come before the late. Anyhow, we have met the proverbial "knee high milestone".
Knee high "chorus" early corn. 
Corn is in the back. Two rows of peppers angle right. Summer squash far right. Giant pumpkins left of peppers.

Now about the pregnancy...tomatoes, peppers, and squash. We're going to EAT them!


Early girl tomatoes.
Sweet pepper... it starts out lime green and then turns yellow.
Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon? We have quite the bamboo and wire system going to support the tomatoes.
Summer squash and zucchini...it won't be long. They grow fast.
