Papaver Somniferum are technically perennials and will set seed, but can also be grow as annuals in the UK. They are very are easy to grow from seed and are useful for growing in hot, dry spots where the soil is poor and they do well in coastal, exposed and gravel gardens. Their flowers lack nectar but are rich in pollen and attract a wide range of bees. 


Growing Guide

Easy to grow from seed and is best sown direct where they are to flower, as they are not keen on having their roots disturbed. Sow in autumn for earlier flowers the following year, or sow successionally from mid-April to June for a long flowering period. Once sown, you will probably find that poppies self seed  - seeds can remain viable for many years so can re-appear many years later!
  • Make a drill by pressing a stick into moist soil. Rows need to be about 15cm apart, in a sunny site. 
  • Take pinches of seed and scatter thinly along the drill or you will waste seed and spend more time thinning out.
  • Use a trowel or your fingers to cover seeds very lightly with soil. Label the rows and water using a watering can with a rose attachment.
  • Thin seedlings out once they are about 4cm tall and again at 8cm, so that they are spaced about 15cm apart. 

Olly's General Guide to Seed Sowing!

I love sowing seeds and it runs in the family - dad, granddad and finally my great-granddad for whom the hobby helped him get over his experiences in the Great War. I still get a big kick when I see the first seedling poking through from a new plant that I have never sown before or been successful at. However, even the most experienced gardeners draw "blanks" from time to time. Whilst I sow all the seeds that I sell so I know that they are viable, some are trickier than others and problems can arise so here are some tips to make "blanks" few and far between:

1) Dont Rush! Tempting though it is when that packet arrives in the post to simply bung the seeds in some compost!

2) Google and Youtube are your friends! Take some time so see the methods other people use to germinate the seed. 

3) Think Nature! What conditions do seeds face? For example a seed from a tropical plant will fall to the warm, wet and dark jungle floor. A seed from the mountains of Europe will fall to the floor in Autumn, then have to endure months of freezing temperatures before germinating in the spring. So as growers, what we are trying to do is to simulate the conditions that the seeds will naturally experience and there are plenty of tricks that can be done to short cut the processes somewhat.

4) Good compost pays dividends . The best investment you can make is to purchase three bags - one of potting compost, one of vermiculite and one of horticultural sand. With these three bags I can make up whatever soil type a particular seed likes (although for most seeds I find a 50/50 mix of compost and vermiculite works just fine) 

5) Rot is your enemy. The single biggest danger to seed germination is rot - either before or after "damping off" the seeds germinate. To reduce the risk, ensure you have good free draining soil mix and that it is moist but not wet. Unless the seed variety absolutely requires it I prefer NOT to cover my seeds trays with plastic bags, Whilst germination is often faster this way, it greatly increases the risk of rot. I prefer to place my seed trans inside a watertight plastic tray and water from the bottom - airflow over the surface reduces the risk.

Durable and Rugged
Color: Black
I've had it for a few weeks now. It was a replacement I bought after buying several vinyl type covers. This one is a good gauge of plastic and rubber. The rubber seems pretty strong and it protects the iPad well on the corners and back. The back is mostly covered except for the Apple logo in the center. In addition to protecting the corners and also protects the camera lens as the rubber after insulation is a little bit higher than the lens so when you put this down, it's not going to scratch the lens. It has a pen slot, which I like and plenty of room to grip the device if I'm carrying it from place a place or when I'm using it, I can grip the edge and not touch the screen. One of the things I would've liked included is a screen protector, but nothing covers the screen. I also miss the folio type cover because the screen will gather dust now. But, Apple screens are fairly durable so I'm not too worried about breaking it. It was easy to install. It came in as it came in a couple of pieces that you just pressed together. All the controls are obvious as they are under the rubber, but they look like keys. One more thing I might bring up is the charging port. It's easy to get to even though it's a little deep. On my iPad the touch sensor is on the on off button and it is a little harder to do than if I didn't have any case on it, but that is to be expected. It also has an easel that unfolds from the back if you want to sit it up, but I don't use it for watching anything since I have a real TV set. So far I like it and I'm glad I bought this as I don't think it's going to wear out as quickly from me handling it as the others did. The value was good as long as it lasts.

Screen protector
Item Package Quantity: 2
I had a hard time applying it to my screen because of the size. I can say it may take 2 people to apply it. Good quality.

Be certain that device screen is COMPLETELY dust/lint free.
Item Package Quantity: 2, Item Package Quantity: 2
This comes in a two-pack, and both were certainly needed. After installing the screen protector the first time, I saw that there were several teeny/tiny specks of dust or lint that were visible and caused circles to form around the specks of dust/lint where the screen protector didn’t firmly attach to the iPad screen. It was not fixable. I learned from that experience. So, when I installed the second screen protector, I made sure there was no dust/lint on the iPad screen, and made sure that the sticky backing of the screen protector was also COMPLETELY free of dust/lint. Be sure to use the included “Perfect Screen Guard” to pick up the lint/dust before you finally place the screen protector on the device screen!! I give this a “5” because it did great after being certain that there was no dust/lint.
