Geek Gardener

Hello there. I'm Matt and I'm a computer geek. My fiancée Nancy
is a big gardening fan and she gets a great suntan pottering around in our
garden dealing with plants and flowers and things whilst I waste away typing.
I have therefore decided to redress that balance by trying to grow something
myself this summer. This site tracks my efforts.

Pansies

Filed under: — matts @ 4:22 pm

We went to Van Hage yesterday, principally to pick up some longer canes for the sunflowers. However, whilst pottering around there I was unable to resist buying some more seeds.

So I now have some pansies! I got three packets - a mixed pack of pansies, and two unusual-looking ones, one which claims to produce blank pansies and the other green pansies.

Here are the new trays we bought for them

The seeds

Really the seeds. They’re tiny!

And the finished contraptions. One of them had instructions to store “excluding light” so it’s into the pantry with that one for a fortnight. The other two have gone on the breakfast room windowsill where the sunflowers and nasturtiums had their formative weeks.
