The Takeover

38 Comments

Whoah! Will ya look at that? Who knew all those poppy seeds would take over the garden?

 

 

When the garden’s full of weeds,

We give thanks for poppy seeds,

Once they grow they cover up

Every weed that’s coming up.

 

But the rain has flattened them,

Looks like someone sat on them,

Soon the flowers have to go,

Or the veggies just can’t grow.

    Wonderful to have so many poppies in your garden and Lincoln too, of course!

    I used to have a hill filled with poppies. It looked similar to your plot. Really–you have to get rid of them for your garden? They’re pretty sturdy. I think they’ll come back!

    Ein Garten voller Mohnblumen…so wunderschön. Der Rest kann warten und Sonnenblumen werden auch woanders wachsen und blühen.

    Wow! Poppies do like to come in a crowd, don’t they! I have orange poppies around my house. Not sure if they’re the Welsh or Icelandic species. The native (to Norfolk) field poppy is also very common in the wider area. It’s a shame the petals don’t seem to last very long.

    When pretty flowers overpower the weeds, we don’t mind, except when they take over our vegetable garden.

    Oh yeah! There are veggies in there. Beautiful poppies, Anneli, and delightful poem. I hope you end up with a beautiful vase of them.
