The only thing about direct seeding is that the conditions have to be just perfect. I’ve had success with poppies in the past, but the ones I sowed last fall ended up succumbing to a weird stretch of warm, dry, windy weather. I put down more seeds and those are coming along, but I also sowed some in pots, inspired by Matt Mattus. I planted them out last week, and we’ve had cool, rainy weather since then. They seem to be adjusting just fine.
@@BrieThePlantLady sure, I get that. I want them in the ground though in some spots. I have to run out and water I guess if it gets dry. But I’d have to do that with pots as well. Like I said, the little transplants are adjusting well, thanks to the ideal weather ATM. I think, like with all gardening, site and weather are king.
I think I like the frilly one best. Heavy rain doesn’t seem to mangle it.
Stunning!! Love it! Keep up the fantastic work! Thank you for sharing your wonderful garden with the world. ❤
As kid I would remove the cap of each and every poppy to reveal them, I love poppies so much and your garden looks so great
Your yard is exploding with growth as is mine. We have had a ton of rain but it will give us a great head start for the Summer. Pretty yard Brie

You can direct seed in pots outside no transplanting needed. I’ve demonstrated that this year quite successfully.

I don’t know how you do it all! It’s looking great! I’m excited to see the native plants as well.
Brie,
Are the oats Sea Oats? Do all varieties of oats have a nodding habit or just Sea Oats?
Thank you. 😊
No these are edible oats!
