To teach us about how things grow from seed, and how to look after them.

My children grew flowers.

I grow the things in my garden we can't write on here. I'm an expert at them.

I can remember growing cress then all the mums coming in to help us make egg and cress sandwiches.

I managed to make a right mess of my bread as the butter was too hard and one of the mums laughed at me and pointed at me

Is it weird that it’s probably the only time I’ve ever had an egg and cress sandwich? What does cress even add to it?

Still remember and still grow.

It's so nice on a buttered bread with a pinch of salt.
