Oh yes please Keely... that would be wonderful, thank you. 😀 I’m hoping to harvest seeds from my red opium poppy. How am I best doing it? On the smaller poppies I just wait for the heads to dry out then shake the seeds free. Is it the same with these larger poppy heads? You’d be very welcome to some seeds from the opium poppy if you would like any. I’ve also got some smaller yellow poppy seeds if you’re interested? 😊😘

@italydiva forgot to say yes I just take the seed pod heads off leave them in an envelope then later in the year take the tops off for the seeds to fall out into an envelope you get 1000s from one head 😆😘
