seed potatoes
A type of potato tuber (like a
bulb) that has been specially
grown to produce potatoes.
Don't plant ordinary potatoes
from the supermarket, as they
may not grow a good crop.
seed tray
A wide, shallow container for
planting seeds. Move seedlings
into pots before they get too
big, or the roots will tangle
together and plants won't have
space to grow properly.
simmer
To keep a liquid bubbling
very gently at just under
boiling point.
straining
Pouring a liquid through a
mesh, such as a tea strainer,
to separate out any solid bits.
