New to you & Idea on GRINDS

[Cornburglar]

Hi there.. I'm new to this forum. I've mostly been reading poppies.org's forums but I can't register... .
Seems they're not taking on new members. At any rate, I've been
looking for a place to discuss the wonderful pod and using it for
beautiful floral.. arrangements</span>... ahem.



I wrote a story about growing my own poppies in my back yard. It
had a sad ending... the poppies grew but no pods bigger than a grape
and seemingly no POWER. This is no surprise to me, the author, as
the pods that the seeds came from were small and seemingly
powerless.



However, not to discourage a sequel to my story, I wrote an epilogue
about scattering two handfuls of seeds on july 4th in the same
area. These new seeds come from a larger and more effective pod,
so if they grow, perhaps the growth will be larger and effective.
I wonder if anyone knows about the viabilty of doing two growth cycles
in one season? The first one went from seed to pod in about 3
months (april, may and june). I live in the northeast. I
figure, July, August & September are relatively frost free months
here... I DO have sprouts, upon sprouts coming up. Any
thoughts? To increase story accuracy, of course...



Finally....





It seems to me that I had a dream that my cat ground up 3 of his poppy
pods really fine, mixed 3 tablespoons of the powder with grapefruit
juice into a metamucill-y gloppy mixture and glugged the whole glop
down. He said he was gellin like magellan and it beat T by a mile. Anyone else had this experience?



Looking forward to new ideas and reading all the posts in here.



Thanks..
