My garden has now been taken over by poppies and they are beautiful. I've been reading a lot about a Facebook campaign - next year marks a hundred years since the outbreak of World War 1 and we're all being encouraged to buy a packet of poppy seeds and go and sprinkle them in hedgerows and country lanes to commemorate this milestone. I've got tonnes of packets of poppy seeds so I just need to work out where I'm going to sow them now. I'm always astounded that poppy seeds - which are teeny tiny - can lay dormant and not get blown away in the wind, but that they just lay where they are month in, month out, and still flower prolifically each year. How does that happen?
