Here's a question for those of you who have more experience with California
poppies than I do.  My poppies are pooped....  the seed heads are formed
but the foliage looks raggedy.  I'd like to pull them up, but the question
is, if I pull them up and lay them on the ground, will the seed pods
continue to ripen and produce ripe seed?  I was thinking I'd mulch over the
uprooted plants with stable bedding and seed some annuals atop of that.  My
major goal is to have more poppies next year.

Any suggestions?

Thanks!
