Thanks guys! I hadn't thought about freeze issues. We too are going to have a night or two this week below freezing, and I hadn't given it any thought. I was more concentrated on the whole taproot/transplanting issue and just wanted to get them re-established asap. I guess I assumed what Karen is saying since they can be direct sown in winter.
Jennifer-Are your other poppy seeds refrigerated? I guess I was wondering if you can still direct sow if they haven't had a cold period.
Does anyone know if I should be worried about rabbits or groundhogs eating them?
I sorta planted "chunks" of seedlings. I was going to wait a bit to pinch out any as I'm assuming 6 seedlings in a half inch area is too many. I could have separate them out individually when planting but I assumed the less fussing with them, the better. Thoughts?
