I have about 3/4cup of leftover poppyseeds, after I finished making poppyseed rolls for Easter. They are dry, I do not buy the premixed filling. I was thinking about adding them to my suet cakes or just mixing them into the birdseed mix, as I really do not care for them. Do you think that this will be okay, they won't do any harm to the birds will they? ***OR*** Does anyone know if maybe I could get them to germinate? I could then add them to a prairie flower mix that I'm putting together for my sister. Any suggestions would be appreciated.
Question about poppyseeds n birds?
Michele, they might germinate. Sometimes they have been heat treated before packing and this stops them from germinating, sometimes they haven't. I would add them to the mix, and if they don't come up, at least the field critters can eat them.
Great idea !!
