Hello,
I live in Acton, MA which is near Lowell or Lexington and I would like to start some pansies as I read in a encyclopedia of annuals that pansies prefer to be started from seed when the temp is around 50 Degrees, but it doesn't say whether that's an mean temperature---the average of any given day. So, will my seeds rot with temperatures in our area is as follows: 65-71 F. Degrees-Daytime & 50-55 F. Degrees-Night-time (sometimes a bit cooler at night, but definately no frosts). FYI: We are just inside the Zone 6a area. It is critical that these do well as they are being started for our Church's Harvest Fair in Mid-November, by which time the pansies will need to be kept under shelter. However, how cold does it need to be before the pansies need to be brought indoors; and do they do OK indoors once they are of good size with good light? Thanks, and I will put this message in a few other relevant forums too, but if anyone reading this CAN ANSWER, it'd be super as the time we hope to start them is on Saturday when we have several people helping with the job. Thanks very much!
