How To Grow Pansies From Seed #6

 Getting What You Need

I sowed my Pansies in early February this year and I've got a few seedlings that have popped out. All I used was a set of old yogurt pots I had washed and filled them with multi purpose compost and popped two seeds in each pot.      

The process is very simple and you can easily get a result as you can see in this photo. After having germinated some, I decided to sow some more in a different container to start off a fresh batch.

Here I grabbed myself a tupperware container to use. Make sure any container you use to start off your seeds is clean.

In this photo you can see the little Pansy seeds inside the packet. They are small but still manageable using your fingers. I would not fuss about spacing though, just lightly sprinkle them over the surface of the soil leaving a little space between each seed.

 

You can just about see them in this photo, I've sprinkled about twenty-five seeds on the surface and left adequate space between each seed. This will make thinning them out easier as they grow. 

After having done that, I put a thin layer of compost over the seeds and gently patted down. I gave them a good soaking of water when I was done.

Once that was  done, I sealed the top of the container with it's lid and named as well as dated the day I sowed them. I kept my container on a windowsill but this is not absolutely necessary. Within a few weeks, you should be able to see some seedlings just like in the first photo!
