Are these poppies?

i am afraid it looks like a weed barcar (chickweed)

Can't remember the name but I have had experience of these. They are almost like a sedum and spread like crazy! I would say weed!

Thanks folks. I'll pull them all out this weekend. Weird thing is it is only growing where I sowed the poppies and there is no sign of anything remotely poppy-like!

The chickweed tip sent me looking to see what it looks like and I think it's Petty Spurge - see here http://www.gardenorganic.org.uk/organicweeds/weed_information/weed.php?id=105. So it's definitely for the chop!

When did you sow youre poppies? I always shake the seed heads of mine around the border. They only show up where I have since dug.
This is why the field's in France were full of poppies during the first world war as they lay dormant and then once the soil has been disturbed (bombs mortars etc going off) they jump back to life.

the foliage looks the same as some of the wild poppys growing on the beach nearby, they have bright yellow flowers. I would give them a bit longer and see what happens. good luck

Definitely a weedy spurge. The white sap from broken stems is the give-away; it's a family characteristic. If the sap gets on the skin, it should be washed off immediately as it can cause a skin irritation

Thanks everybody - it's all gone - quite a task - I'm sure it will come back but at least I can recognise it now. You're right about that sap Andrewr. Wishing I'd read your message before I'd finished. It stings.

Poppies were sown in April/May - just sprinkled randomly on freshly dug over ground. No idea what's happened to them. Maybe they will come next spring?

Wretched T&M have struck again! This time it's poor seeds. I have really gone off this firm. :-(

Seen this in my agarden ect &i say weed 2 :( cant belive their from a Seed/Plant Company thats awful :(
