A flower-filled paradise in Northern California
Mary Morgan sent in these pic that will make all of us garden in colder climates green with green-eyed monster . She writes ,
“ I survive in the Sierra Nevada foothill in northern California . I was a glad weekend gardener until I retired .
Several years ago I added several packets of California poppy seeds and spread throughout the garden . They come back every yr . The farseeing iris delimitation is my breathe place for my at peace dear darling . I will take a rootstalk of each whenever I move . ”
