Welcome to our nano piece of paradise!
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. We try to add new images once a week. Older posts are archived at page bottom. Click an image to enlarge. We're having fun. Please! Enjoy!

Another garden is BORN!

We cannot say it's been "a long hard winter". It was not. Even still, the sight of crocus blossoms in the lawn, and all the emerging tips of all the other waking plants, is always heartening in spring. They don't call it "spring!" for nothing. Each year it's another set of  miracles.
crocus 
emerging parsley seedling...first seeds planted indoors
first parsley leaves about to open...seed shell still atttached
new rhubarb about to "POP pop"
garden soil aerated by freeze-thaw cycles 
PEAS! ... first seeds planted outdoors (earliest ever this year)
peas

Sandra's mushroom garden indoors (Thank you Heather and Roger!)

Mmmmmmmm!
What is THIS? Was this the last little gasp of winter last week?? We shall see.

The rhubarb sprouts look like brains.

Dennis,

love the pictures of the flowers but NOT the snow. The snow is especially unsettling given the fact we have been looking at sand and palm trees the past few weeks.

Keep up the good work.
