They had beautiful purple and white flowers before the pods but I didn't get a picture of them. Oh well

What does everyone think of just getting a couple of these for poppy growing? Then could be moved around easily to sunny or more shady spots as needed dependingon the season weather, no weeds. Yay or nay?

Full of soil those would be heavy as fuck and hard to move around unless you had them on skids and had some machinery.
Check out https://starfishhoney.com/collections/poppy-lovers
I’m pretty sure she has some videos on YouTube.
Poppy are easy to grow, but easy to love them to death as well.

I went with these instead. You get 20 of them if they're good then it's not expensive to have an army of them and they're easy enough to move. Thanks for the link I'll check it out.

So do I just sprinkle a bunch of the seeds in each pot, lightly tamp with hands for good soil contact, and then just keep them watered?
Can too many plants start in one pot and then I just pull some of them out? How many could grow and fit in each pot like that size?

Yes. Not too wet though. Seeds and young poppy don’t like to be too wet from my experience. Good drainage is imperative. You will probably have to thin them out. If they are crowded they stay pretty small

Ok sounds like I'm on the right track. I have 4 wheelbarrows of top soil, a pile of year old compost, 2ft³ of peat, and gonna get a bag of perlite to mix in heavily.

There is only one leaf left on my poppy plant. Do you think it will still make a healthy pod?

I’m hoping these will be happy in the ground and transplant well. Temperatures have been close to freezing overnight and cool during the day which should minimize transplant shock.

Fabric pots are here. They have good thickness, good stitching and 20 of them for $34 is a good buy I'd say. Got all my soil amendments ready. Just gotta put in all together and sow. Gonna line em up outta direct sunlight thankfully near the garden hose too.

That sounds like a great deal for those pots!

I think so too. Not a bank breaker to have a small army of them. We'll see how they make it through the season. Gonna get a bunch filled up and planted tmrw. It's supposed to rain Sat so may put them on the covered patio for now. Temps are supposed to be cool and damp here for a couple weeks.

Put all my soil amendments together yesterday and got some bags filled. Sprinkled with Black Swan, Soldier Boy, Reds, Pinks, Whites, and 3 bags are from seeds labeled everything mix. Watered and on my covered patio they get sun for a few hours in the morning. Temps been low 40s at night and mid 60s at day warmer weather is on the way with cool nights still. Wish me luck!!

they do not get enough credit as soil builders. we experience in them these sort of divine dualities and they do invoke a fear like few within their kingdom but only the guilty are afraid poppy is warrior and healer, geranimos and assata shakurs who keep the fire low and never let it go out older the sources of all folky tales.. bread for war, and for after the war, and yes we are talking of the wasted places again i wont go on and on but for real what are we doing? when the birds starve the air will go stale, the wind will stop and it will taste bitter. fuck that we are going to watch the wild animals who never trample anything, who remember the land and are deeply in love with it. they walk around all the wildflowers real careful. even though they are countless in number they leave little evidence. then a single cow comes through and everything turns into shit and the rivers get so thick and green they can barely run. truly this is a type of first round succession and there is more to be undone
only 2 potted yearlings survived the squirrels digging through every pot because they found some had hazelnuts in there. they went on the ground and are trying to bolt now
these are renegades they are revolting 

these are the two that made it through the winter in the ground
