GROW YOUR OWN VEG FROM WHAT YOU HAVE IN YOUR KITCHEN

One of the most popular activities of The Great Autumn Lockdown of 2020 has been getting into the garden – playing in the soil, trimming the trees and transplanting cuttings. In this sometimes desperate time, sowing and growing can feel like you’re planting hope: as they say, ‘gardening is cheaper than therapy – and you get tomatoes’. You also save money, become more self-sufficient, need fewer trips to the shops, have less food waste, fresher veggies, a stronger immune system, huge satisfaction and a healing connection with nature (butterflies, birds and chameleons are bound to visit). All the things needed to fight a vile virus.
