and here is where i plan to put them after i rip out all those weeds and then dig (about 1/2 foot deep). then re-soil it. and space them about 2 inches apart each, that should be enough right?

also, any reccomendations for soil? i am going to ORCHARD SUPPLY HARDWARE. so yeah,

i appreaciate your posotive input =)

whats up with those lil weeds
i like the spot your gonna grow in.
i would get some vermiculite and perlite and some bug spray.[fruit and veg]
also you might wanna get some chicken wire for xtra protection and good for tying down branches.
dig deeper than half a foot.i would say more like 1-2 feet.
if security is a problem maybe get some other kind of flowers to camouflage

thanks owl, i will keep what you say in mind (Writing it down) but lets keep this thread up for some other guys to see too, any one else got pictures of their seedlings/poppies? i would love to see them. as they say pictures say a thousand words.

opuim does not do well with transplants

but before flowering use a 5-20-5 fert.

I have my opium seeds here, thing is I just don't know when to plant them, I'm in the UK.
