The poppies need a free draining soil, you could add some sand, or fine grit
to the potting compost in the peat pots.
I sprinkle them all over the place then it's a nice surprise to see what
pops up :-)

Very pretty, but those aren't true poppies (Papaver), yours are Eschscholzia
californica which is also a very cheering flower.
Thanks for reminding me, I must grow some next year (just hope the slugs
don't get there before me).
Our garden soil is very sandy and free draining, so good for Californiam
poppies.

You have a nice selection there :-)

If you're starting them off in peat pots, add some fine sand to the potting
compost to make it drain better. Poppies, (papaver or Eschscholzia
californica) don't like too much wet at their roots).
Am looking forward to your photos next year :-)

I do hope I can get it right. Not easy on a rooftop deck garden.

Are you planting them in troughs?
It will look very cheery :-)
