That includes the foxgloves and the Calendula in the background..
There are even some self set sweet peas amongst the field poppies but they don't show up as we keep cutting them!

I've been pulling poppy seedlings out of my plot which I must have transferred in my not-so-good home-made compost. I love poppies, but not between my onions!

I love poppies, but not between my onions!

It's supposed to be petunias in the onion patch.

That first one is an amazing colour!  I have cosmos growing like weeds on the allotment after growing them in my cutting patch last year.  Not a complaint - those and foxgloves are my weed of choice on the allotment this year.

My garden is full of poppys. they have germinated in the most odd places and I just cannot get rid of them.  They are not the nice ones like yours saddad, though I have some of them as well.  I was also weeding in our pebbled area last night and blow me I took up a couple of carrots and parsnips.  The parsnips came to nothing in the veggie plot so why grow this year on a stoned area.   Nature is strange.

One plot was totally swamped with Nigella one year...

My plot always has enough opium poppies to outdo the whole of Afghanistan. I'm starting to select them for the nicer colours, and just pull the washed-out ones as soon as they start to flower.

Some lovely nigella heads in the hedge at the moment, even a double blue!
