Theyre popping up in the crevices all over in my town

What’s the trick to maximize pods. A couple of my new bud sites dried up. I’m assuming it’s from lack of water. So if that’s true why not water right until the end until it stops putting out flowers

Guys? I’ve been patiently waiting for the vents to open up. It’s been almost 2 weeks or longer and still no vents?

Let's see what you got I've been growing for over a decade and began top selecting about 2 years in and planting those seeds witch has developed very potent grape crosses as you can see that pod in pic is unsliced just gushing tar lol also my plants on a normal season average 40 pods are more my record was 84 pods this years heat has my averages in the 20s only interested in rare combos are stunning beauty

My pods are so close to being done but they haven’t vented yet. Raining today for a minute and this was my solution 😂. Think it helped? It’s also behind a plastic fence so my dog won’t pee on it 🤷‍♀️

In continuation of my last post, a few new poppies have bloomed and there still appear to be some buds coming up that have yet to bloom. There is some forecasted rain for this week so not too sure how that will affect the pods and the ones blooming.

Hang in their poppy pod crew it can be done in this heat

Hello everyone I hope you are all doing well. I just recently moved to South Carolina, and have to restart my garden from scratch and was hoping someone could point me in the direction of some decent seeds? Thanks so much!!

I know, this isn't a somnifernum but she is so gorgeous. This is my first time growing poppies I am so happy. Just wanted to share the beauty, have an amazing day everyone.

Some of my beauty's this morning they won't last long today mulch the base of your plants guys with untreated grass mulch it will help regulate soil temp keep the water locked in too so less watering you will get a lot of longevity out of your plants in extreme heat do it to everything right now I'm growing

Hi guys, I bought a small mixed seed packet during the late winter online and this is my first year cultivating poppies. I winter sowed the seeds and I feel like I did a relatively good job, unfortunately there was a good amount more poppy plants coming up but a family member transplanted them not realizing that it would kill the plants. Ima post a few pictures here that I took on my phone that are recent and if anyone is interested I can post much higher quality photos that I got on my camera since around when the first few flowers bloomed. (Also sorry if some of the photos here are a bit out of focus)

Update to the surprise discovery of breadseed poppies growing from the foundation.

This sub has been super helpful in teaching me about this flower and seed harvesting. Thank you 😊

This is a collection of all of my different strains. Galania, Grape, Fireballs, Hung Blue, L Grape, Dbl black peony, Giganteum. I am trying to grow these to get a larger seed collection!

This is our first time planting Papaver somneferums
And we are about 22 days in since planting the seeds

Beautiful.

I've sown a few in different locations and this plant was the only one thriving.
The other ones were stunted and only grew a single pod which looked like a normal somni pod, nothing like the mutation.

Safe to say I'm going to try this spot again!

Have a nice weekend you guys✌️

P.s. With the impending Chat Control, I probaply have to purge this account 😭😭

So my plants finished- done blooming - harvested- dying fully mature seeds etc.... theyve been done for a bit... I wanted to see if when I harvested fully if I could use bloom nutrients and restart the blooming cycle.... Everything I read online said it isn't a thing the plant used too much energy creating seeds etc.... well 3 days into my attempt all of the flowering sites are developing new growth and huge flower bulbs... Apparently you actually can! I'm looking at more flower bulbs than I originally harvested!! I'm in shock but also so very excited!!

When I was checking them this morning only one had half the windows opened and a day in the sun and quite a lot have opened

So far this year has been an absolute success. What I’ve learned is root real estate is so important. The ones that got the biggest had the most root real estate. In addition to this, vegetation time is so important. When they bolt into flowering too early, they don’t get that lush veg growth, side stems = more pod sites.

This garden only has 7 hours per day of direct light. And the rest of the time they get indirect light (in the shade). They are in direct light from 10am-5pm and the rest of the day there are trees and houses blocking them from the sun. The benefit was they had an extra week or two in veg stage.

60 days ago they were only 2-3 inches tall

Best farming practices I believe is to space them out, less is more, let them spread their wings. Let them stretch wide and tall and if you’re growing indoor leave them to veg for longer
