Have you tried winter sowing vegetable and ornamental plant seeds? If not, give it a try this winter. Many seeds, including tomato seeds and your favorite perennial seeds, do unbelievably well using this method.

Ok I have never winter sewn any seeds. But, I can not get poppies to grow and they are So Beautiful.
Do you think they will work ? I am in zone 6b

Thanks
Hurray!

Yes they will work. Just follow the Winter Sow directions.
Don't forget to take photos once they start growing.

Hurray! Hurray!
I can't wait to see how they do for you.
You should give one or two other things a try at the same time.

Shannon: I also had bad luck with poppies until I tried winter sowing and they did beautifully!
