TASTE FILES
It’ll be spring soon, so now’s a great time to inspire kids to grow their own veg and herbs. This month you can sow tomato, sweet pea and basil seeds. Save on buying planters and make your own from drinks bottles – grown-ups should cut the bottles, but kids can decorate them. Learn how to make a cat design at tes.co/catplanter.
