Poppies

ginamarina
16 years ago

Hi, Last year very few of my heirloom poppies came up due to the weather. I managed to get some seeds from what did - scrawny sad little flowers. I'm glad I at least saved them. They were from the sweetest little old lady. Her flowers were beautiful, red double-blossomed poppies. I don't want to take a chance losing these. Could someone give some advice as to the best way to sow the maybe 1/8 tsp of seeds I collected? I'm chicken!

Gina
