I've been collecting some poppy seeds from the garden of one of my 'meals on wheels' old dears. They have beautiful pink flowers - not the large bright red traditional sort of poppy.

Any idea what I should be doing with them?

Do I save them for the spring or sow them now and overwinter them in my little plastic greenhouse?

Hang on to them until next spring as they're half hardy annuals and then direct sow as they hate being transplanted. Jude.

Yesterday's Beechgrove Garden covered how to save and plant on a range of saved seeds. Useful!

If you have plenty you could get the best of both worlds. Sprinkle some where you want them now, and save the rest until spring. You might get some early flowers, but haven't lost much if you don't.

Thanks for all your replies...

I do have plenty so I might just try putting some in a sunny patch out the front and save the rest

I now have self setting marigolds and sweet william coming up all over the place. Even nastirtium seeds often manage to survive the winter.
