I try to keep up with annual poppies somewhere on ATP,so this is going to be it.
Once again I sowed poppies in mid November believing we wouldnt have anymore warm weather. I am not so panicked this year as last when an early sowing produced teeeeny plantletts.I worried they would freeze out duering Jan. and Feb,bitter cold with temps below zero.
Not so.
As many poppy people assured me they ould survive.
This years sowing was found by a flock of migrating Juncoes. I thought all poppies lost.
NO! Yesterday I saw teeeeeny shoots.
All's well.
