A Tale of Three Window Boxes

My window boxes all have their own little climates, especially in the front. I filled three of them with pansies. One box, which gets no rain and all sun, is dead. The next, that gets some rain and all sun, is mostly dead, and the last, which gets some sun and lots of rain, is flourishing. The final one, which faces South and gets no rain even in the stormiest of weather, has succulents in it. I think the I will fill two more boxes with succulents so that I don't end up with dead flowers in the front of my apartment.

I don't know how many other window box gardeners in 4th floor Brooklyn apartments are out there but I propose planting pansies as a good way to see what the sun and water conditions are like.
