Walter asked:
<< Anybody still grow opium poppies?? >>
Anyone interested in this topic should track down the long article buy the
very excellent writer Michael Pollan, who is himself a gardener and the
author of the book SECOND NATURE, in the April, 1997 issue of Harper's
Magazine. He discusses many interesting aspects of growing opium or breadseed
poppies--Papaver somniferum--an activity which is illegal in the U.S.
