Good stuff Cannabis420420. Poppies are fun to grow hey.

True story, my family knows a lady that has a farm, this farm has a church on it. My grandparents moved to the area and went to the church weekly for 50 years. Years after my moving to the city my grandpa died, years after that we go out there to visit the woman. She lives on a farm in the deepest of country trails, the farm is out of use but entirely occupied by nice big red papavers. Apparently after the war someone planted some on some of the graves at the church, over the course of 20-35 years literally 700 acres have been taken over by these poppies. When I went in the fall, they had all dried out and were dropping seeds. The wind really propels them. I didn't take any of the pods but I filled my pockets with seeds and grew them out at home. Planted them at 3rd frost. By spring I had about 50 poppies, nice big pods, long stems(3-4' tall), and excellent flowers(in fact they are on my mom's computer background). I never harvested though. I may spend a few days out at that farm this summer though. If I could only remember where it was. :):)

Good luck.
