Seed sowing

What activities do you lose yourself in?

There is something about sowing seeds that is so therapeutic. I could spend all day doing this gardening job, it is my favourite gardening job.

Sweet peas are a favourite thing to grow

I think I love doing my seed sowing so much because there is the promise of life, colour, food and the enjoyment of those things. From seed, I can grow most of the food I want to eat, grow flowers to enjoy in my garden or cut to bring inside and grow a tree so I can sit in its shade. Not many other things anyone can do can have such positive effects in someone’s life.

Food is a great reason to sow seeds-they can have pretty flowers too!

This is a far more positive job to be doing than the usual weeding or hedging that I do at work where I’m just taking things away from the garden in some form (even if it is to make the garden look better).
