I have one lowly poppy this summer as a result. Annual poppies are so pretty. I love your white and red ones especially. That pink hollyhock is just beautiful too!Jennifer@threedogsinagardenhttp://threedogsinagarden.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5402966891549129524.post-90782403205230592852011-07-28T23:04:40.039-05:002011-07-28T23:04:40.039-05:00Hi I'm new, but I'm loving this blog! :) l...Hi I'm new, but I'm loving this blog! :) love, love, love your pictures especially the poppies. :)Cecilehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14236485690950241945noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5402966891549129524.post-37841700567381757152011-07-22T20:25:57.650-05:002011-07-22T20:25:57.650-05:00Weed out your poppies?

It seems they mostly eat young growth. Once in awhile, they will eat some that are larger, but those snap back better than the young ones, which sometimes get eaten down to the stub. I have some that I protected after they were eaten pretty badly, and they have grown larger than they were when first planted.Corner Gardener Suehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10631500918579405664noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5402966891549129524.post-75165889352170282462011-07-22T14:30:01.520-05:002011-07-22T14:30:01.520-05:00Hi Diane,

LOL I keep thinking I should take a break to get some things done, but don't seem to have the self control. I am getting some of the cleaning done, though. We can walk into the basement pantry/storage room now, and the things in there are accessible to us. <br /><br />I have 2 poppy plants, and deadheaded them, hoping to get more blooms. I should look up to see if that works. I do want some to go to seed to self sow. Yours sure are pretty. The rudbeckia and hollyhocks are, too.<br /><br />I expect you are having fun with your family. I hope things are going well, and you are getting some relief from the heat and humidity.Corner Gardener Suehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10631500918579405664noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5402966891549129524.post-44826262083367492552011-07-22T09:02:31.144-05:002011-07-22T09:02:31.144-05:00That backyard border is really looking beautiful! ...That backyard border is really looking beautiful!
