Czech Culinary Poppy

Special variety passed down for generations in the Czech republic now here in Canada.  Huge productive seed pods (3 inches) producing lovely blue seed for baking. Very productive. Annual.

Direct sow in Fall or very early spring, on surface of soil or barely covered. Harvest seeds when pods are dried and brown, and the seeds inside are hard and black. Cut the pods, leaving the stems long, and bunch them upside down in a paper bag. Shake out the seeds, remove debris, and store in a closed jar or in the freezer.
