Covid has hit Northern Ireland like horrific hammer. Every night the news recaps deaths and fills us all with fear. Shops closed and all of us are in lockdown, and we are not able to go to the plot. Desperate for a gardening distraction, we rummage through the back of the cupboards, find some old culinary spice seeds and decide to try to sprout them. To our surprise, the Caraway seeds sprout after a couple of weeks on damp kitchen towel! We grow them on, and plan to eventually plant them out at the plot. It just goes to show, even in the darkest places, hope and life will find a way.
