We all know that home-grown vegetables provide us with more vitamins, minerals and nutrients than supermarket equivalents. So 'growing your own' is a big step towards a healthier lifestyle and cutting the cost of your grocery bills - the British Retail Consortium recently announced that food prices have shot up 9% year on year to February 09. What's more, your delicious harvest will have travelled from your plot to your plate within minutes rather than days - no food miles, no additives, no packaging!

There's no excuse not to grow your own. You don't need a large garden or an allotment, just a few pots or containers - the patio will suffice if space is limited. During summer you'll have tasty crops in just a few weeks with minimal effort!

Grow your own Seed Potatoes
Surprisingly enough, you also don't need a large garden to grow potatoes. Grow them in our handy seed potato planting bags on the patio - and enjoy the wonderful taste of fresh potatoes.

Grow your own Fruit
Growing fresh fruit gives lasting rewards! Imagine being able to enjoy the taste of succulent fresh fruit from your garden, allotment or even your patio - year after year

Grow your own Onions and Garlic
Autumn planting onion sets, shallots and garlic are ideal for keeping a year round crop of these essential vegetables.

Did you know?

A packet of baby leaf salad seeds will cost you about £1.59. That's about the same price of just one bag of leaves from the supermarket. The difference is your packet of seed will easily keep you supplied with fresh, home-grown salad leaves for a month, this summer.
