[Cooler Then Jesus]

hey guys, here is a picture of my poppies that i am growing in my backyard, they are afghani speacial/garden mix. and also included is a picture of where i plan to put them.

heres the seedlings


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

opuim does not do well with transplants

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