the ONLY way I grow poppies 🌱 perfect germination & you'll never buy seeds again! 

I'm the same way! I always try to bring a calm, encouraging energy to my videos so I'm glad that resonated with you 💗

Same! Voice & Vibe is everything! ❤

The are almost always treated.

@@Vastmystry if they’re supposed to be eaten they wouldn’t be allowed to be treated in Europe or UK. Only seeds designed for planting get treated.

Thank you! Great to know. I just moved to zone 5b 😊

у нас в Америке можно.Да можно ещё чай заварить с ними. Я слышал успокаивает нервы 😥

Have not tried planting poppies yet. But hopefully it's not that late yet, to start this time of the month of February ...

Cultivated drugs/plants are a pivotal point in mammalian evolution. Hard drugs, just happen to be the turning of said point, into sheer darwinism.-I-aM-O

@@Wavy_GravyI 100% agree. Poppy Pod Tea & Poppy Seed Tea are the best thing to ever happen to me for managing my chronic pain

Can you use seeds from any variety or is there a certain one? Thx

@@septembercindypapaver somnferum

Shhhhhh and be careful. :)

Me too! Luck & blessings for us both!

Ohh lucky you! They must be so beautiful!!

this is so sweet, thank you ❤

Thank you!! 🥰 Unfortunately I didn't, I went back to check my garden tours and I think I missed filming the poppy window sadly.

Excellent advice ! You should do a video. That would be amazing (skip the music tho.) and speed up the narrative. Ty

You should definitely give it a try, they're such a beautiful addition to the garden 🥰 And thank you for subscribing!! 💗

They are if you live in wet climate also known as slug paradise. Every time i direct sow poppies the slugs eat them.

I'm very jealous!!

Ahh thank you! You will LOVE that variety, they're gorgeous!

I love Cape Cod!! Glad you enjoyed the video 🥰

Ahhh that sounds amazing!! Good luck growing ☺🌱

@deankoch7305 how’s the indoor poppy grow coming? Trying to grow some indoor “Tazzies” from seed, my first time. any pointers would be awesome!

Who can I order from for these

@ElvisAaronpresleybyRustyMartin ​Baker Creek Park Seed Select Seed​

They are still producing. It took 2 months from seed to first flower. I am using Wicking buckets and transplanted some when they sprouted with success. They are very thick probably 15 or more in one 5-gallon bucket that lived and are sending up flowers every day just about. There are at least 40-60 pods in one bucket or more. The flowers only last a couple days and lose their pedals. I used HappyFrog soil and sand with Pearlight. I misted the seeds a few times a day and kept the lights on 18 hours on and 6 off. They germinated at 14 days and went crazy. The bucket with fewer plants has the biggest pods but they are not big. They are smaller than a goofball. The seeds were expensive but I probably won't have to buy anymore unless I decide to get a different variety. Good luck with your grow. Important to keep the dead leaves cleaned up and have a little fan blowing through the base to keep insects and to let them have light air movement.@@ChopperPilot136

Me, too! I'm in NW KS. 😊

mine have just started blooming too!! ☺

So glad you enjoyed it!! Happy planting! 🥰

@@bellaviglianti thank you! Wasn’t sure the poppy packets I had were safe to plant with edibles, so I’ve just picked up poppy seeds from bulk barn! Definitely edible and can’t wait for the lovely colour surprise! :) Have a wonderful gardening season ahead! 💕

Isn't it a game changer!!

I love that idea!! I've always wanted to make some wildflower seed bombs!

My tiny, tiny poppies are up!

That's amazing!! Yeah I find the plants are always hardier which in my cold zone is SO nice!

What are seasoning seeds

@@ElvisAaronpresleybyRustyMartinthe bread poppy seeds.

They're talking about the seeds you would find at the grocery store in the seasoning aisle.​@@ElvisAaronpresleybyRustyMartin

Lauren's Grape is an annual poppy, but it is very pretty. My favorite annual poppy mix is Falling in Love Shirley Poppy mix. Park seed sells them. 😊

I grew that one a few times

my mom has tried bells of Ireland quite a few times and they've been so tricky!! Maybe this year we'll have success. And thank you!! haha not a weirdo at all 🥰

@@bellaviglianti I overbought seeds this year hoping to get these cheeky little bastards to germinate. It's a numbers game for me at this point. Grrrrr. I'm not giving up tho!

If that doesn't work, try scratching up the ground just before or in the coldest part of the year, then sprinkle the seeds there and pat them down. In Zone 5b, I used to do this on a nice day in January. Then, there were a few months of repeated freeze/thaw cycle that poppies needed to germinate.

You can sow poppy seeds in a covered container with damp soil and then put them in the freezer and take them out periodically to thaw to simulate the freeze thaw cycles they would have experienced outside. Once you've done that, put them outside in a semi-protected place where the container won't get knocked over. Don't forget to poke some holes in the bottom of your container. Check them every week or so to make sure they're staying damp. Don't dump water in there. Spray or mist them with a bottle.

@@seanaames6855 thanks for the tips! This is going straight into my my notebook! 💕

I agree, I had mixed results with the seeds I winter sowed last year because of the weather here as well. Some did fine but some I don't think I got the timing quite right with. I think this year I'm going to direct sow some late winter/early spring and winter sow some in containers to compare. Always something to learn with every year being so different! I would LOVE to learn more about crossing poppies. It's not something I've been intentional about yet but I definitely want to learn more about the genetics in the future, it's so fascinating!

@@bellaviglianti I will try WS after the rain and Saturday will be in 30s and looks to remain cooler although still above normal. Geeky Greenhouse is the only one I’ve heard address this (abnormal temperatures) and advised to set containers on the east side of a building so they get morning sun only. I will try this in hopes they stay cooler and closer to spring move them in full sun. Right now zones north of me are seeing spring bulbs pop. I’ve seen the news address this problem twice, but the real concern is the fruit. I seen a bud on the apple tree that was looking advanced and no one is addressing the problem-they are more worried about flowers. Maybe I will try and shade with burlap. I don’t mind warmer weather and no snow, but the fruit does and last spring the advanced heat broke dormancy too soon. That led to overgrowth that couldn’t handle our late freeze end of May. The winery lost 95% of grapes. It knocked back most everything. There are so many varieties of cosmos, zinnias, poppies and wonder if they will cross? Would like to save seed and wonder if anyone else has had that happen in saved seeds.

Natural grocers and Walmart brand both failed. Seeds from the Asian food store popped no problem

The trick is to plant them outside in the coldest part of the year. Scratch up the soil, sprinkle seeds over the scratched up area and pat it down or winter sow, like shown in the video. If temperatures never get close to freezing in your area, you can simulate the freeze thaw cycle by sprinkling seeds over damp soil in a container. Put that container in the freezer. Every few days to a week pull it out to thaw for a couple hours. Make sure the soil is still damp. If it needs to be moistened, use a spray bottle to mist the soil until it's damp again. After 4-8 freeze thaw cycles put your covered container outside. Carefully, poke some holes in the bottom of the container for drainage, at that point. Check it weekly to be sure its staying damp. Mist with your spray bottle if it seems dry. From the Google AI:

I think that would be just like a raised bed

I think they're a shirley double mix if I remember correctly!

I've had some that don't pull through after transplanting too so I just always make sure to sow more than I have room for!

I keep the lid on until I transplant them and they're usually around 2 inches tall at that point so I haven't had problems with them getting too big. I'm in zone 5b so for me I would start planting them Feb-March then transplant after our last frost date which is usually mid-late May!

Wonderful thank you. And you do not water at all? You just allow conatiner to sit out?​@bellaviglianti

6a!

The trick is to plant them outside in the coldest part of the year, so they experience several freeze thaw cycles. Scratch up the soil, sprinkle seeds over the scratched up area and pat it down or winter sow the seeds as shown in the video. If temperatures never get close to freezing at this time of year in your area, you can simulate the freeze thaw cycle by sprinkling seeds over damp soil in a container. Put that container in the freezer. Every few days to a week pull the container out to thaw for 2-4 hours. Make sure the soil is still damp. If it needs to be moistened, use a spray bottle to mist the soil until it's damp again. After 4-8 freeze thaw cycles put your covered container outside. Carefully, poke some holes in the bottom of the container for drainage, at that point. Check it weekly to be sure it's staying damp. Mist with your spray bottle if it seems dry. From the Google AI:

Thank you so much

just personal preference, I change my mind a lot with placements so some things I prefer to transplant and I sometimes have spotty germination in ground but I do both methods

It's too late to plant them right now BUT if you wait until the fall you can also direct sow them and they'll pop up in the spring! I have so many that came up this year just from scattering the seeds in the fall 🥰

The container creates condensation that keeps them moist! I've found depending on the weather you have to keep an eye on it to make sure it's not too wet/dry but overall it's pretty low maintenance

You can use a spray bottle to mist them. 😊

The variety is not important. The same rules apply to all types of Papaver Somniferum.

Definitely! Even here where we have a deep freeze it still works some years better than others because of how inconsistent spring temps are

nope

If that concerns you write on the bottom with a permanent marker and also on a wooden or plastic plant label and put in inside the jug.

​@@seanaames6855 I'm gonna take that as a No. Lol! Thank you for posting this, I've never grown them, so this is very helpful. 🙂

They will return year after year if you burst those seed pods and let the hundreds of seeds hit the ground
