Have you tried growing poppies before? Success/failures? Tell me your experience!

[@jayantishrestha9562]

This spring I have planted this poppies. I was really excited until it bloom. After it bloom I was super happy. It was so beautiful

For my zone- it is a guessing game of when to fling the seeds down~ so maybe this November I’ll try- instead of early spring ❤️🌸

you did a fabulous job in that strip of your property. just crush the dried up seed pods and scatter the seeds in the same planting strip for next year's show.

[@lancegordon5492]

Just a little tip for anyone else that wants to make a hand-sewn poppy/ wildflower bed: MIX SEEDS WITH SAND. This makes them so much easier to sew, you can see what ground you’ve covered with the sand, and it ensures seed coverage is more consistent. Hope this helps :) loved the video

[@Baetanical]

Lance Gordon Great idea!

[@hanigupta3797]

I finally grew poppies this year in my zone 6b garden. First ths oriental poppies bloomed. Then the breadseed poppies with amazing silver grey foliage. The shirley poppies are blooming now.

[@Aphorism89]

Problem is that they are invasive. I want them in a part of my garden, but you have to be careful. Some parts you want to have clean lawn, some you want no vegetation at all... keeping them just whre you want is hard. In Denmark, in many areas, authorities do not cut the public "lawn" areas, such as sides of the roads or open areas. Instead, they let it grow wild and it is full of these flowers everywhere. Great for nature. But this has to bep lanned, if you simply let it go wild, it will look bad and be a bed for all sort of insects... and not exactly the ones people would think like bees... ticks and mosquitos are absolutely not welcome anywhere.

People stop by to take photos and ask questions all the time. I've even had people drop off cards of thanks and one lovely woman gave me a bouquet of flowers out her yard as a thank you!

[@jameslytle4024]

God gives us beautiful flowers that can double as something to help us feel good. Darkness wants to take that away from us. Darkness is an absense of light and love. They are greedy and also paranoid. They create Hell on Earth for us. If it was really a government 'by the people for the people' then the govt would not be trying to suppress so much. I can understand controlling synthetic shit that destroys people..but there is nothing evil about Papavar Somniferum. The USA is about greed from sea to shining sea. They hate competition from even GOD.

A trick for spreading tiny seeds: mix them into a cup of fine sand, then spread the mixture as you would seed. This helps to distribute them more evenly, and also helps you keep track visually of the spots you’ve already sprinkled seed onto

[@darlene3996]

I love what you've done here. May I make a suggestion? Try leaving the spent flowers be, so they can self sow for next year. Also, leaving spent plants means there is food for birds and other wildlife. And the dried leaves and stems are used by birds as nesting material. Through trial and error, I've learned the only time to remove them is in spring, which allows the new growth from underneath to grow more easily. Thanks for the video!

[@jaspershepherdsmith9047]

I don't know if you've cut or dug them up yet, but you should do chop and drop with these poppies. That way the taproot stays in the ground, breaks down, and helps to loosen the clay soil over time 🙇🏻 Also instead of weeding just cover the weeds with a sheet of plain cardboard and mulch on top of it. More organic matter gets added this way!

[@joaniestraw5075]

Wow, great no nonsense ideas! I’ll be hanging onto those extra scraps of cardboard now for sure 😊

Uhhhh...clearly you have never dealt with the limestone caliche soils of Central Texas...which formed under sea beds eons ago. There is generally fossilized shells along with them, so this caliche soil is NO normal "clay". What we are taught in the master gardener program is to add organic matter to the caliche. It took millions of years to form, and will take at least that long to change the composition into the future.

I used to work mowing for the council and one thing we could never beat were gazanias. They will survive a mow and flower again within a week. Now here's the thing, many old types of Gazanias look a bit ugly, but the new types are pure colours like orange or yellow or mixed. If you look around the neighborhood you'll find some really nice types and they grow from cuttings so easily and spread from seed. so you can grow them amongst your lawn. Other lawn flowers include Salvia verbenaca, cape weed, ixias, woodland freesias, and Lippia, if you're lucky you'll be able to grow English daisies and Self-heal. All these pretty flowers will handle being mowed. Some of my other favourites include the dwarf bread-seed poppy, oxeye-daisy, cosmos and Viscaria oculata.

The results were giant flowers lasting all summer and deep into the fall. I didn't have to water. The rains went not so often in the summer as they are in the winter in Georgia.

My little girl spilled some Chia seeds that I threw into the soil instead of the garbage can and they are starting to grow nice and sturdy - will see how they turn out 💚

Like several others, I loved this perfectly timed and made video. Love that you show the whole process from seed to decomposing buds💕⚘🥀Literally bought some seeds yesterday and may try to get some of those bachelor buttons too, a perfect color blend! These tips help a lot, will be sure to keep ground wet. Thanks so much!

[@dispmonk]

I had similar soil. I watered it good, layed down straw, put a tarp over it, and the worms did the rest. Nice and soft after a few months.

[@JRB644]

So nice!! You did a beautiful job!! Congratulations for doing your part to help Mother earth.

[@shelly5596]

Great combo of plants, looks beautiful and inviting, not just to the insects :) you brought a smile to my face. Thank you for being you and sharing.

I'm going to try seeding them like that. They never grow for me. I bought Amazing Gray poppies from floret flower and have been afraid to sow them, because I don't want to waste the seeds!

[@tegoblue]

They can only be wasted by remaining in the package too long. Scatter them!

This is the first year I have enjoyed Poppies in my garden. I’m excited for next spring/summer to see what they do. I enjoyed your video.
