Hi What would eat my poppy seed heads.I picked some opium poppy heads some weeks ago to dry for Christmas decoration, I had them standing in a tall pot bottomless on the greenhouse staging, when I went down today all that was left was the stems, a 1/2 of one head and no seeds to be seen. Never had this happen before.

Dear Bren, it sounds like mice to me.
Kind Regards, Old Herbaceous.

There's no fool like an old fool.

Yes, I would think it's mice. I watched a little fieldmouse this summer climbing up to a poppy head, demolishing it and eating the seeds - I hope it had sweet dreams!
