Thanks George!
I think I'm in one zone N of you. (Leon County, East/Central TX)
We're considered 8'ish' or top of 9 but borderline all the way
around. Pineywoods just to the East of us, and Waco iron ore to
the West we're in a kind of weather pocket, a 'zone' all our own.
I'll try planting poppy seed during the next 2 months so hopefully I'll
get some to sprout in the spring. I think I've been planting them too
late (the season I expect them to grow in), and yes, I've been
lightly covering them with the soil. Never thought about them being
like lettuce seed. Will try all your hints!
Martha, (Texas)
