Opium poppies

You have to go to the Mediterranian and further south before the levels become worth harvesting for opiates. Damn! How come they don't grow when you want them to? I sowed 2 packets of seeds (for decorative purposes only) as I thought they looked pretty on the packet. only 6 have come up out of about 2000! When did you sow them? They need frost to break dormancy, and like to gorw on cultivated ground. Best sown in the autumn (when poppies the seedheads ripen naturally) for growing the next year. // Jim |
