Harvesting Wild Poppy Seeds
As autumn whispers its arrival, it's time for a cherished ritual: harvesting wild poppy seeds. Before we collect these tiny treasures, we gently shake each pod, releasing some seeds back to the earth to ensure future blooms. With careful snips, we gather the pods and take them home, where we tap out the plentiful seeds — a delightful, edible bounty that adds a nutty crunch to breads and desserts alike.
The Unpluckable Poppy
Dancing with the wind and painting our landscape with their vibrant red hues, poppies are a captivating sight in our garden. Their ephemeral beauty, unholdable in a conventional sense, and their role as tiny teachers of nature's whimsy, make them a treasured part of our surroundings. Whether scattered across baked goods or sown in our garden, poppy seeds carry with them an irresistible charm.
