Ok... this is my third attempt (season) in trying to grow poppies from seed... what am I doing wrong??? They do nothing.

I use the same mix of peat and potting soil as I use for all my seeds. I keep them moist. I sew them on top of the soil... as I do with all seeds that size. When I water, I mist them gently. They are in the shade 100% of the time... but get indirect sunlight. The temps here are mild... lowest around 50 at night often warmer. What am I doing wrong. I really love these things but I can't seem to get any kind going. I no troubles growing anything else. What's the key?

Please help!!

Donna
