Why are my poppy plants not forming bulbs? Shouldn't they have formed bulbs long ago? Please help

Image
Why have my poppy plants yet to form a bulb? They are going on two months old. I see time lapse of poppy plants on youtube, in all cases having bulbs by now. The seeds came straight from a poppy pod by my own hands. What's going on with this? They appear otherwise healthy.... green and strong. If they have any pests on them I cannot tell besides a couple holes in a coulpe leaves. Nothing like a concerning infestation.Please help. I have been putting them in the sun for the majority of the day... at least 2/3rds of the day they are in the sun in Florida. Consequently, they are watered every other day at the least. It rains and this helps hydrate them just the same. I have fertilized them lightly by mixing some plant grown grains in the water I give them.Again, please help. Awesome sub btw I love y'all ~

Fun with carrot breeding for everyone. Easy and simple using supermarket carrots!

Image
This is mainly for fun, if you want to try selective plant breeding. Especially for helping get children interested in gardening by turning it into a fun? science? experiment.Take some supermarket carrots and cop off the ends with the leaves. Put these ends in a shallow dish of water, lightly pressed into potting soil, or pressed into the soil of your garden. Eat the other parts of the carrots.Success of failure doesn't matter, you're making use of something that you would have thrown out.If these grow then they will eventually set seed you can collect. Plant the carrot seeds in pots or your garden. You will likely get a big variety of different shapes, sizes and colours of carrot. Cut off the ends of the carrots you like the look of and plant those ends, but don't plant any of the carrot ends from the carrots you don't like. Eventually, you could breed a white carrot this way, or make your carrots tend towards orange more frequently.You will get so much carrot seed th...

Need advice - planting flower seeds in a high weed pressure garden plot.

Image
Hi! I’m taking on a plot in a local community garden, to grow cut flowers, that has been vacant for a long time and is covered in weeds. The weed pressure is bonkers there. I’m hoping to get access to the plot very soon so that I can tarp the area but the reality is that I may not have enough time before my last frost to let it sit long enough. I will be using woven landscape fabric with holes burned in for each plant and will certainly weed around all my plugs. But, I’m worried about the seeds that I’m going to direct sow. My concern is that I will struggle to tell the difference between my germinating seed and the germinating weeds that will likely pop up in the fabric hole. My idea is to dig out a bit of the existing soil in each hole, refill with purchased garden soil and plant my seed in that to eliminate weed seed lurking directly around my planted seeds. That way, hopefully, I can tell what is what when the weeds ultimately start growing around my established seedlings. Is plai...
