All of my poppies have really thin stems and are falling over. Is it normal?

Sweet. I thought that there might have been something wrong with them.

They always do that. It's not before they are a bit bigger they start growing vertically.

they dont like hot weather man. and the growth cycle is only like 3-4 months, depending on conditions of course. u should start them at the beginning of winter and probably harvest in spring/early summer...
do the farmers grow them round your area? or are the poppy plantations further south?
