Sow seeds in spring. Loosen the dirt up in the area that you are going to be planting your poppy seeds. It’s important to lightly water them every 3-5 days. After the shoots have come through thin them out, they will not flower well if this process is skipped. Once they are 5cm or so tall, move them to their final resting place. When they start to flower, remove buds to ensure that they keep producing blooms. In summer, let the seed pods develop to harvest seeds for the next season.

More About Us
When I started this journey in 2009, I found nothing existed commercially, that was reasonably priced and easy to use. There was a homemade system which I also found was not that user-friendly.
Then a friend of mine told me about a homemade method she used. However, when I tried her method, I found this also didn’t suit my needs, as it too had flaws that I considered where important. It did not keep vermin out, did not have a lockable lid and (to me) looked unsightly in the garden
