So, what’s next?

(Some French below)
Well, it’s been almost one year that Seeds Aside exists. With ups and downs, depending on work loads and family life. So for the coming year, maybe you could comment as to what you’d like to see popping here more or less. It’s actually been much less botanical than what I intended first, [...]
