Comments (15)I came to Garden Web thismorning to look for info about Shirley Poppies. This is my experience with them so far.... last fall I sprinkled Shirley Poppy seed around my flower beds in November....it was already quite cold. This spring I was disappointed to find no poppies coming up when other things began to show. Finally quite late in the spring I recognized the leaves coming in just a few places. I may have destroyed some of them as weeds before I realized what they were. When I finally found a few starting togrow I protected them with some mesh for awile so they didn't get munched and so I didn't damage them by mistake. I ended up with just three plants this year. But they have been blooming since late June. At this time the stems and leaves are beginning to look exhausted but the blossoms keep coming. I have been deadheading them as soon as the petals fall off because I assume this keeps them making more flowers. I see you mention that you have plenty of seed. So I guess you are growing them this summer. Do you deadhead them or always let them form seed? Do they comeback each year or do you put out new seed each year? Will they keep blooming if I let the seeds form completely onthe plants? I was planning to just buy fresh seed and sprinkle again this fall. I hope I get many more plants because I just love them bobbing about here and there. They're so cheerful :) According to an online seed catalog they should be sown in fall because the seed needs the cold winter to germinate. Also sow the seed without covering it because it needs sun to germinate. In the past I had not much luck and I think either the seed washed away when I water plants or maybe birds eat it. The seed is very very fine so I mixed it in a salt shaker with dry sand from the beach to make it easier to disperse....See MoreLong's New Pool Build in NW Houston/Cypress Texas
Comments (105)Hey Janet - BEAUTIFUL pool. I'm glad to see it came in just right for you guys. I'm also in Cypress. Actually, our home is up closer to Tomball (2920 and Cypress Rosehill area), but my law firm is near Jones and Grant. I just had my FIRST meeting with a PB tonight, and we're excited, but COMPLETELY overwhelmed. Do you mind giving me the full name of your PB? If you had a really good experience, I'd love to speak to them and get a bid. I'd to get at least 4 or 5 bids before I pick a PB. My wife and I have an interesting situation in that we have a LOT of room in the back yard (we are on 4/5 acre lot in the forest), but we have two massive trees that we want to work around AND build an appx 800 sq foot outdoor living room/kitchen/bar. We need JUST the right PB to make our pool integrate with our house, our lot, and our forest. We really want to do this right, and it looks like your PB did a great job! (Although I'm very impressed at your design work!)...See Morepjtexgirl
