Pantry poppy seeds
Has anyone ever had any success growing poppies from the spice cabinet? Im not growing them to harvest the pods or anything and as I understand it, the type from the spice rack isn’t very active anyway. I just think it’s a pretty flower.

I have! I had success with bulk poppy seeds from a bakery. I have heard of people using grocery store seeds. You'll want to make sure they're fresh seeds/haven't been sitting in the pantry for years. Depending on where you live, it's best to sow them right before the last frost. What I do to recreate this is to put the poppy seeds in freeze for at least 24 hours before I sow the seeds.
