I leave them alone and let them reseed, so my poppy bed is getting bigger and I'm getting some interesting variations too!Nutty Gnomehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06146296943319504785noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3070488376505303445.post-78446820798599581372011-01-07T19:38:19.121-05:002011-01-07T19:38:19.121-05:00Stunning!

Easy to spread around when they go to seed too.Dave@TheHomeGardenhttp://www.GrowingTheHomeGarden.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3070488376505303445.post-67160399065175493582011-01-07T13:34:46.602-05:002011-01-07T13:34:46.602-05:00I love poppies too.

Poppies and zinnias, I could almost live on those alone.<br /><br />I've had good luck winter sowing poppies and planting them as hunks of seeds early. Well, good luck as in I always get some that bloom, but not always as many poppies as I would like (can you have too many poppies? I think not!). I've wintersown Oriental, Shirley, Iceland, Peony and Venus poppies and had some bloom that same year. I've had poppies reseed too. But I think I'll try direct sowing some too and see what happens.<br /><br />Is it spring yet?min hushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09460666548836420815noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3070488376505303445.post-8640190100557136282011-01-07T12:55:53.099-05:002011-01-07T12:55:53.099-05:00Last year was the first for me with Red Breadseed ...Last year was the first for me with Red Breadseed Poppies and what a delightful treat they were. I have since acquired two other types from gardening bloggers. I sowed them in early Dec. I have poppy seedlings up everywhere!!

I looked and looked at the flower to figure out how to get those tiny seeds but I gave up. This year I'll give more attention to saving some seed. Last year it was breadseed poppies but would like to try some others.Becca's Dirthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18245107413671341365noreply@blogger.com
