They grew--and I got all excited.... --Then they spread a little--and I was not all that excited any more... --Then I (think??) I decided I did not want them there--and dug it up and took it to a Plant Swap. Yay!!! No more Poppies! Oh, you think???? --Every year since then--they are still coming up. Not many--just 2 or 3 stems. I remember reading somewhere that Poppies cannot, completely, be dug up. Like dandelions.... You leave a bit of the root--and it will come up again and continue growing.... I think i will just let them "bloom where they are planted"......:o) I do not get too many blooms either--just a couple. I do collect the seeds though. Sometimes--you just cannot win! Gita |
