There is a standoff in my garden......


between the California poppies and the dill. Both plants re -seeded themselves this summer and have grown ferociously, claiming almost all available space and leaving little room for weeds. For years I have spent hours pulling weeds, but the on-going competition between the poppies and dill has made it difficult for the weeds to grow. Ah, the wisdom of plants untended.

These poppies re-seed themselves everywhere. I never know where they will pop-up.
