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!

New blue (and the prettiest flower)

This year we finally are trying to grow blueberries. We bought 5 new bushes. They need acid soil, so we prepared that ahead of time. Also blue and new every spring are grecian windflowers. They're up along with the daffodils and the "dandy lions" (as my granddaughter calls them). Spinach and peas are now growing outside, and the peppers and tomatoes are growing under lights inside. Another month until danger of frost is nil. I leave the very prettiest flower until last, at the end of the post below.
