  • Micro Greens

    Many people give a list of excuses why they can’t grow their own vegetables –
    they haven’t got green fingers
    they haven’t got enough space
    they don’t know what to do
    it’s too expensive
    they haven’t got the right kit

    But it’s easier than you think! If I can do it then you can do it.

    Get a plastic takeaway pot, some lettuce seeds and a bit of peat free compost.

    Just add water.

    In a few days it looks like this

    In a few days it looks like this

    In a week or two it looks like this

    And in a month you can cut as many leaves as you like with scissors to add to your salad or sandwich

    Yummy! And zero food miles.

  • Rewilding

    Rewilding

    Have you ever tried touching the grass after it’s been left for a week or two?
    You might see one or two weed sticking their heads up from the lawn which is maybe 4 or 5 inches high. If you’re lucky you might see a couple of pretty flowers.
    Leave the garden alone for 3 months and you get a jungle.
    You will see a great variety of grasses and flowers, maybe up to 2 ft tall.
    Bees, butterflies and other insects attracted to this new habitat.
    This is local rewilding.
    What could be easier?
