Is it too late to sow Poppy seeds? I've just been given lot's from a neighbour. Thank You

    Certainly worth trying, I think they will be fine.
    How can you lie there and think of England
    When you don't even know who's in the team

    Yes I would go ahead. 
    I have worked as a Gardener for 24 years. My latest garden is a new build garden on heavy clay.

    Last week I found a jam jar half-full of them that I'd saved last year so I chucked some around the border. Nothing yet but I reckon as soon as we get some rain to dampen them, they'll be up. The flowers will be later than the ones that self-sowed and are already fair-sized plants.

    Doncaster, South Yorkshire. Soil type: sandy, well-drained

    We just planted a load at the weekend. Keep them damp for them to germinate and grow.
