Pansies

I finally put 12 seeds in market paks last night and was surprised to find I still had 8-10 seed left. There's a slightly warmer spot on top of and to the back of the upstairs refrigerator. Now I just have to remember to check the market paks every day or so to make sure they don't dry out.

These are Chalon pansies from Burpee, packed for 2007. They're very similar to the pansies I grew from seed in 2006, pictured here. Alas, the 2007 Chalon seedlings died of thirst in the basement; I totally forgot about them during the running around as I coped with my mother's final illness. I don't know how viable these seeds still are. We'll see. Meanwhile, I have some hardy pansies in my front window boxes, bouncing back when the weather warms and lying flat as pansy pancakes when it's cold.
