    Have just collected some poppy seed heads, [the more common red ones] what is the next step to growing some of my own poppies for next year from these?

    Put them in an envelope write on what they are Most inportant this...leave to dry in a warm place about a week, then just shake the envelope and the seeds which are very tiny should fall out ...then plant them. and do mark where you plant them as I planted two lots and can't remember exactly where! Oh and not to deeply. [​IMG]
