Over the past six months I have consumed poppy seed tea about 8-12 times. This works out to be about 15-20lbs of poppy seeds. After straining the seeds I need a place to dump them. I chose the corner of my backyard by a tree. Thinking the seeds would become part of the earth after the snow melted i carelessly dumped all the seeds into this corner. Last week there was heavy rainfall. I woke up and looked out of my back window. The first thing I noticed was a MOUND of poppy seeds. I must have dumped them in the exact same spot every time. I laughed then brought a shovel outside to disperse the seeds across the ground and pack them into the earth. When I stepped out of my front door that morning I also noticed a small mound on my neighbors lawn which i dumped there that has been revealed by the rain. I now place the seeds in a heavy duty garbage bag and let the garbage man take it away! Thankfully I got to the mound in the backyard before my parents noticed because it stood out to me like a dinosaur in my backyard.
Good GAWD man, how many pods do you use in one round of tea? That's a fuckton of seeds I too have quite the seed stash. Probably enough to plant several football fields' worth of pods. Unfortunately, I live in an apartment in a big city and have shitty sun exposure. Still gonna try to grow a few this spring tho
I actually use bulk seeds, about 2-2.5lbs per dose. Wouldn't a football field of poppies be a beautiful site? I'm hoping that some decide to grow where they've been stashed, even though they've been 'winterized.' The way I look at it is there are literally MILLIONS of seeds that were buried in snow for a couple months. If you were to bury millions of humans in the snow for a couple months, I'm sure a few would survive. I have tried growing poppies indoor before, i could never get them strong enough to grow past the small sprout stage. Good luck with your growing!
