The Triumph of Seeds came about in a perfectly natural way: my little boy told me to write it. He's always been obsessed with seeds - eating them, planting them, sorting them, and digging them out of any unsuspecting piece of fruit close to hand. Seeds were a constant topic of conversation in our house when I was choosing a new book topic, and since I share his fascination, I was happy to oblige!

Hello Thor, I'm a big fan of your book and it requires a re-read. I loved all the intriguing seed stories. My partner has just recently read it and enthusiastically shared stories and new insights at every meal. Alas, I can't remember something about your book that I'm sure you commented on. Do seeds anticipate future weather conditions? Does a plant energize the seed manufacture if a harsh winter is ahead?
