Now this really is the most rewarding way you could spend an hour. If you want to give a present that will warm the December cockles, plant pots of scented narcissi. It couldn't be easier - rootle out some old pots, put some drainage at the bottom (broken tiles, scrunched up parking tickets), and fill to within 5cm of the top of the pot with compost. Place narcissi bulbs pointy side up, as many as you can cram together (touching), and fill to just below the top with more compost. Give them a little water, and put them on a warm and sunny window sill for 6 weeks, watering them when the soil feels dry.
Show offs: plant a pot of them every fortnight and stagger the joy....
