I love the fact that the past year's enforced confinement to our gardens has resulted in so many people growing plants from seed for the first time. All the reports back from this front have the same tone - one of celebration at the elemental magic ofthe delicate little seedlings, emerging through soil or compost. I know that for many, used to buying their plants individually, half grown or even fully formed, it is a revelation that plants can be created in such quantities and with such ease and that the process of nurturing them through from that first sprinkle of seed to a young plant ready to go out into its allotted place in the garden is as enjoyable as any other aspect of gardening.
