With no end in sight to the changes we are seeing in weather patterns due to climate change, growing your own food has never been so important. Add to that the fact that the quicker the harvest from plot to plate, the higher the vitamin content, and growing a crop of flavourful, nutrient-rich vegetables that strengthen your immune system and add vibrant hues to your outdoor area, is a no-brainer!
