Even small gardens can be filled with color. Its my oasis. I have only watered twice since last fall. We have had abundant rainfall this winter, and even this week. But the days are warmer and we have a few sunny days. So look what happened to the seeds I spread at the end of the season last fall. When I was doing clean up, I would gather and sow my favorites. They are wonderful. I finally have a great display of California poppies, just at thevtime when tourists are going en masse to Southern California wildflower areas to see hillsides covered in the orange blooms. But first lets peek in my back garden.
