5-minute gardener: What to do this weekend

TOMATOES FROM SEEDS
If you haven't bought  seeds yet, do so without delay. The choice is huge. This year Kings Seeds has more than 70 varieties and Egmont Seeds more than 30.
Sow seeds in trays in either a commercially prepared seed-raising mix, or make your own with a 50-50 blend of compost and garden soil seived together. Three-quarter fill the trays with the mixture then soak in about 5cm of cold water in the sink. Firm down soil with your palm and scatter the seeds, about 2cm apart is ideal. Then sprinkle seed-raising mix on top.
