It is time to sort seed. To take out packets from the bags and boxes, drawers and pockets you might keep them in and check their viability. I am as bad as anyone at hoarding seed long past its sow-by time, but maybe this year I will learn to change.
My next seed job, though, is to sort through the dishes and paper bags of saved seed that line our living-room shelves (there is almost the same again for wild flowers at the Danish summerhouse). I will admit to an obsession.
