I have so many poppies in my garden the police will soon be coming to investigate

About three years ago a couple of poppies grew in my garden as the seeds blew over from my neighbour’s garden. They were really beautiful, so that year I collected some seeds from the seed pods and sowed a few more. Last year I went a bit crazy and sowed as many seeds as I could find in any patch of soil in my garden and over the last few weeks, every single seed seems to have produced a great big poppy plant so there must be THOUSANDS of poppies in my garden and driveway.

As you can see from the pictures they are amazingly gorgeous – there are loads of different colours and styles. We also have some wild poppies too (below) which are just so beautiful in their simplicity.
