Just came in and am a bit winded...We were out filling the bird feeders with bread and we found a wonderful surprise...I had to run in the house and grab the camera...

My husband had scattered some poppy seeds a few months ago near our fence, in with the chocolate peppermint. Nannie Bea from England had sent the poppy seeds over last summer. Well i never thought they would grow...but a few weeks ago we saw lots of light green foliage near where michael had scattered the seeds...Well tonight...WE....HAVE....GORGEOUS...POPPIES!!!! YEAH!!!!




My little helper touching one of the poppies gently.






Here is a tiny poppy...



We also had another FABULOUS surprise...RIPE...BLUEBERRIES!!!! Logan and I ATE THEM...about 6 were ripe today...we will have tons in a week or so...

Lovely and delicate poppy. The blueberries are nice looking and just a hint of what is to come.
I hope to harvest my first ones tomorrow.
Well done, G'mama!

Good looking blueberries, congratulations! Those poppies look like they really like it there. Are you going to collect seed and sow again come spring?

With a bit of luck those poppies will self-seed for you and you'll have even more next year! They look lovely.
