so I went to visit my new friend the poppy lady. She does indeed have a small field of authentic poppies. About golfball sized, petals fell off two weeks ago tho some remain.
the crowns are not upturned yet, nor is there that white dusty cast to them.
some know I have dabbled in growing. I have not told the story of my discovering a field of them in Washington state, but I just collected all I could then without regard to maturity or ripeness or yield.
I'm short I have never encountered a situation where I wanted to make the most of my endeavor.
no one is likely to see the pods. There may be 60 or so. When are they at peak ripeness, shall I use conventional methods, scoring in the morning and collecting that evening or should I collect the milk directly?
if I reharvest, how long between the first and the second?
any other advice?
I have an odd sense of propriety. When I visited her, I brought her a compact but earnest little Peruvian torch. She does so well with plants, I figured she might rear it. I couldn't bring myself to telling her what the little cactus really is.
