Hi All!

I was going to try the "scatter on snow" route this year and read late February is the time to do this. I'm in PA, zone 6b, Would doing it now, really be detrimental? We may get our first snow this weekend and thought I'd like to celebrate w/some poppy scattering. I'm thinking the only downside would be it would give the birds more time to find/eat them. Thoughts?

Thanks for your input!

Update: We got 30 inches of snow! I'm so exhausted from 2 days of shoveling, that wading out to the garden to scatter poppies, is going to have to wait! Haha! The thought was nice though : ) I read somewhere that mixing the poppy seeds w/dried used coffee grounds works the same as mixing w/sand to help broadcast them. So, I did throw my coffee grounds on a cookie sheet to dry yesterday in the midst of the storm/shoveling, so I'm still thinking about the poppies : ) Has anyone tried that??
