California Poppies

CG has decided to add some flora to the burning bush bed. A quick stop to the nursery for some instant results once spring arrives would be too easy. Never having attempted growing annuals from seed before, CG needed something to do in the waning weeks of winter to keep him occupied.

These particular seeds were chosen for their drought-tolerance and full-sun characteristics (and CG feels that he is doing his part to help-out the economy in California -he's sure Gov. Terminator gets royalties from everything sold with 'California' on its label).

Day 1:
the seeds were planted in a $5 wal mart peat pellet growing kit
Expected date of germination: 06 March
