    They look a bit too delicate to handle/prick out, so maybe you could try sprinkling very fine compost to cover the stems and leave hoping they might recover. You never know they might recover, have you any more seed for another sowing?

    Hi Val - what a shame - maybe you could try planting them deeper.

    No, I actually wasn't expecting these to germinate. oh well, I'll try potting them on and see what happens.

    It happened to me val a couple of years ago , they went berserk in the airing cupboard. I could never grow pansies for some reason . I would bin them and buy some on special offer at your local nursery. My pansies were just perking up a treat this week but have just had a good 80mph wind blasting straight of the Irish sea :gaah:
