Now I have something to plant in my garden. When's a good time to plant poppies?
after the last frost of the year, so probably early March. Or April, they will probably grow quicker then, due to there being more sunlight. They like lots of sunlight, so try to plant them in a south facing area. I reccommed a fresh pack of compost, which will be packed full of nutrients, chuck a couple of inches of that on top of your grow patch, dont compress it, the seeds will thrive. 99% of them germinate. They are very easy to grow, the only problem with growing them in the UK is lack of sunlight and too much rain. Watch oiut for snails, they love poppy plants and can decimate your crop if left unchecked. If it stays dry snails are less active, infact they barely move, but when it rains they all go on a devastating rampage.
