Grow your own may be one of the hottest trends about right now, but for once I'm an ardent follower of fashion and its no wonder.
It feels great, it looks great, it saves cash, its a prefect family pass-time and then there's the obvious fact that it tastes FANTASTIC.
It will produce the most tender tasty veg you could ever wish for and of course doesn't clock up the air miles.
This year I'm growing a host of great vegetables, some sown from seed, some still to be sown and I've also got a great veg plot full of vegetables most of which came to me a plug plants - the perfect way to grow your own with a minimum of fuss and with no specialist equipment.
Everything 's doing really well..........and most of it was planted up in about an hour. Just me and my son, planting away frantically after homework was done and before the supper got burned to a frazzle ! I also grew lots of spinach, rocket and coriander from seed just a few weeks back. The result? I'm already harvesting trug loads of salad leaves...............mmmmmmm!
Go on, grow your own, there's nothing to beat it !
