How to spend your time
When you spend more than £20 on M&S food you get a free seedling pack. Now this is my sort of gardening.
Put soil pellet in a saucer and pour 50 ml water over. Watch in amazement as soil GROWS!
Mush it up with your hand then nearly fill biodegradable tub with it. Add sheet of seeds and cover with rest of soil.
Keep on windowsill and water when dry. In 14-21 days seedlings may sprout. Or probably not in my case - touch of death.

You put a smile on my grumpy face this morning.
Good, I'm glad, Chuck!
That expanding rehydrated soil is amazing! In the first photo, I thought it was a two-bite brownie. Do you have those in the UK too? Almost as addictive as Maltesers!
No, I don't think we do, Debra. Or if we do I've missed out on them!
I’ve never see the soil pellets. Great idea!
One of our supermarket chains had this promotion a couple of years ago. Huge fun… not that any of my seedlings got anywhere near producing anything edible but I enjoyed watching them sprout.
Let us know how it goes Liz :-)
Not being one to read directions, I would have planted the little pellet outside and the squirrels would have dug it up to gain a feast. I saw a squirrel a couple of days ago, cavorting about in the "mulch bowl" around one of the new gingkos in the back yard - even doing head-over-heels back flips. It finally dawned on me that the squirrel was digging up the flower bulbs that I planted last fall (maybe 30-40 of them?) and feasting. I think the bulbs must have been psychoactive.

They are, Marie, and fun!
I am just hoping mine sprout at least, Sonata. I don't hold out much hope for anything else.
Will do, Polly.
Those bulbs do sound crazy, CopCar. Squirrels are terrors though in the garden.
Perfect things to do during these weird days - garden and art. I've used similar pellets when starting seeds although mine has the peat/soil contained in a fine biodegradable net. Handy things.
