Around this time of year my Instagram feed fills with pictures of chitting potatoes from like-minded grow-your-own-ers. I love it! So here’s mine, and my treasure trove, box of seeds. I had a go at collecting quite a few of my own seeds this year so we’ll see how that works out (she says, somewhat nervously). Now and again, especially on a particularly grey afternoon, I like to lift this box to my ear and give it a shake to hear the seeds whisper that very special word… Spring!
