  • Breadseed Poppies

    I really wasn't sure where to ask this, seemed slightly more appropriate to this section than the flower or veg boards.

    Anyway I am growing breadseed poppies for seeds this year as a sort of experiment (and poppies are so pretty anyway), and I was just wondering if anyone else has and what sort of yield of seeds I can expect per sq metre. I'm probably only planting up 2 sq. m so not expecting a huge amount but just a bit curious.
    I've had a look on google but got nothing except a lot of rather detailed information on opium farming...not really what I'm after at all!

    I haven't grown it but I do have some seeds. Mine are from The Real Seed Catalogue : Flower seed

      That's what I have! I'm hoping for at least enough to make a batch of muffins.

        I'm growing them too. Just out of curiosity. :-)

          I grow them. Usually get about a jam jar full from about 8 clumps - there may be more than one plant in a clump as I sow a small pinch in a big module (did it on Monday) then plant out at the plot.

          Some of us live in the past, always talking about back then. Some of us live in the future, always planning what we are going to do. And, then there are those, who neither look behind or ahead, but just enjoy the moment of right now.

          Which one are you and is it how you want to be?

            Thanks Alison. That sounds like a good return actually.

              Thanks Alison. That does seem like a pretty good return. If all goes well then I should get at least a few batches of muffins and poppyseed paste out of my little patch.
