Are poppies weeds?

My yard guy came over to weed the yard. We walked around the whole yard, front and back, and looked over the hill. There was nowhere he could weed without taking out the spring poppies. They are spreading across the yard more every year. We finally decided we couldn't weed at all until the poppies go to seed. So the weeds and wildflowers have full reign for a couple of more weeks. Isn't it great!


These are African daisies. They absolutely cover the fields off Continental Rd in Green Valley--at a nursing care complex. Last year after they went to seed we brought home a handful of seed pods. And they are growing where they have water. Next year they too will be everywhere. I love it!
Well, this was the beginning of BBQ ribs before I cut up the peppers. But since they too are pretty and colorful, here they are.
And I hope you too have a beautiful day.
