Growing notes
Annual. Papaver somniferum. Start indoors and transplant gently, or seed directly as soon as the soil can be worked; direct-sown seedlings need regular weeding until they're strong. Barely cover seeds. Thin plants 6 to 12” apart.

We're trialing and breeding new varieties!
This is the most challenging and thrilling part of our work.
The trialing allows us to test varieties of a same species side by side and determine which one(s) taste and perform the best.
Breeding and variety maintenance means selecting for traits that are desirable such as flavor, texture, disease resitance, earliness and hardiness, just to mention a few.
