So the below is wrong, in regards to germinate poppies in a fridge?
http://www.poppies.ws/poppies/how-to-grow-papaver-somniferum.html
How to Grow Papaver Somniferum
Opium poppies are annuals, which means they grow, flower, and fruit in one season, then die. They generally like cool weather best. Barely cover the papaver somniferum seeds, and sow sparsely so you will have less to thin. The papaver somniferum seeds will germinate in 10-21 days and do best when the soil temperature is coolish, 60-65 degrees F (or air temperature of 55 degrees F). They will not grow if it is too warm. I have gotten the papaver somniferum seeds to germinate at 80 degrees F., although they obviously don't like it. What works better if it's warm is to plant them in peat pellets as usual and then put them in the refrigerator for a week. They will not germinate in there, but when you take them out, they will germinate en masse. This is a great way to get them around germinating in warm weather.
Thin seedlings by cutting off the tops with a scissors, leaving only the 2 or 3 healthiest looking per peat pellet. Pot them up pellet and all when they at least have their first true leaves, which are the second pair. I usually let my plants go until small roots are coming out the bottom or sides of the pellet.

Is it good to leave them in for about a week, and then place in the sun? What is your process MrMadd Hatter?

I let the peat pellets hydrate then stick in about 4-6 seeds per pellet. I set the pellets in a plastic tray and stick in the fridge for a week. After a week, I set them outside. When roots begin showing through the pellets I stick 'em in the garden.
Simple
