Two of the boxes have been sitting on the windowsill for a fortnight, and they seem to be doing just fine and have poked up lots of cute little leaves.

However, the third (in the middle here) has been in the pantry, and is looking rather sorry for itself, having produced just two measly straggly anaemic-looking plants.

I am hoping that a move to the sunny window will perk these up but it’s rather disappointing to have a net haul of only two plants! Ironically, these are the “normal” pansies (the others are slightly more unusual varieties) which I expected to be the easiest to grow.
