And Then There Was Pansy

One little pansy decided to sprout today.  The seed was planted 7 days ago; it is within the expected range as stated on the packet (3-9 days). Again, pelletized seeds appear to germinates faster than its non-pelletized counterparts (generally 14-21 days).

I moved the sweet potatoes off the wood stove mantle where the temperature averaged above 80 degrees. Afraid that the slips would be ready to plant outdoors many weeks ahead of schedule, I moved the jars to a cooler area, on the kitchen table with the germinating seed trays.
