well, i don't know how it happened, but apparently i've had more than just that
one poor pitiful poppy i wrote about a few weeks back. here i am with four pods, each filled with seed, i trust. imagine the potential for next year's flowers! now, the question is this: should i harvest the seed and save it to scatter in spring? or just let the pods open naturally and self-seed?
Waiting to hear...I have them too and don't know what to do. xo Jenny
ReplyDeleteHi Chris, i hope you dont mind i 'Save Picture As..' your poppy pic. So nice.
ReplyDeleteleave them. (i have some for you, too. will mail...)
ReplyDeleteI say, leave it up to Mother Nature. It's much more fun to take the chance and wait and see what will happen.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful picture :) -I would leave nature to do the job; it's certainly worked well enough before human intervention!
ReplyDeleteSo neat! I'm not one to offer advise but I think I would allow them to open naturally. I've never tried self seeding before.
ReplyDeleteHow wonderful, I love poppies! Looking forward to the pics when they bloom!
ReplyDeleteI can't advise what to do with the seeds, but this photograph is gorgeous...one of your best.
ReplyDeleteThanks for your posts. Always inspirational.
Those pods are so pretty! I've tried and tried to grow poppies but with no luck. Any tips?
ReplyDeleteWait until the tops go brown and rattle, then pick one and walk down the garden blessing it (shaking the pod) as you go! Nature can deal with the other ones.
