Bread Seed Poppy

I've failed to grow these far more time than I've succeeded. 


This year I started them in the greenhouse, but covered them over with a board. seemed to be the key to my success. 
I shoved them in (late) in a scrappy bit in front of the polytunnel. Luckily they seem to like it there and have grown well. Just wish I had put more in. 


Apparently all poppy seeds are edible, but the advantage to bread seed ones is the fact that the seed head doesn't open so make sit much easier to collect and save them. 


I'm looking forward to having these on top of my rolls! 

Anyone else grow poppies to eat the seeds? Or collect the seeds from somewhere else?
