I went out to collect seeds (I hope) and even cut off a few random pieces, which may or may not grow, what do I know. I even found a poppy, but I didn't want to cut the flower, which seems to me the most likely way to get seeds (but what do I know), so I left it alone.
I put all this in a shallow bowl filled with that expensive rich soil I bought. So I'm sure that there at least, something will grow. That's what weeds do, right?
Anyway... it's something I wanted to do. Now I've done it  |
Make a note of where that poppy is and go back in a few weeks when the flower will be dead and in its place will be a seed head. When this turns brown the seeds (if fertile) will be ready for planting .....
