A probably very dumb chicken question. I'm trying to figure it all myself, but I just got two chicken and... I have no idea how to get them back inside the coop. I can pet them and open the door, but what about when it rains, I've played enough Harvest Moon to know it isn't a good idea to keep them outside when it's raining.
The California poppy is commonly seen blooming in the spring and summer along country roads and freeways throughout much of the state, making this plant a highly recognizable symbol of California, and April 6 of each year is officially designated as California Poppy Day.
Because California poppy seeds thrive in full sunlight, it's essential to shallowly sow the seeds -- a 1/16-inch layer of soil is sufficient to cover them. Expect the seeds to germinate in about two weeks, once the soil warms to a temperature of 55 degrees Fahrenheit.For indoor germination, use biodegradable pots so that you don't have to transplant the seedlings and disturb the roots. Fill the pots with moist seed-starting mix, up to 1/2 inch from the top.ow the seeds directly outside in spring as soon as the soil is workable. In planting zones 7 and higher, sow the seeds as early as fall, so that they start growing when spring arrives. Indoor seed germination can start six to eight weeks before the last chance of spring frost in your area.
