I recently wrote this blog post for the school about plants which are easy and reliable from seed and useful for pots – and there’s still time to get sowing, so I thought some of you might like to read it.

Cosmos ‘Sweet Sixteen’
Sow Cosmos and you’ll hardly have time to make a cup of tea before they germinate.

There’ll be another fresh post here soon!
