If you haven't already done so, it's the perfect time to sow some food and reap the rewards later. You don't even need a garden, you can grow salads on your windowsill! Some beans grown up canes in your garden provide height, beauty and later will keep providing food right up until frosts, they also freeze very well. The taste of your own green beans from the freezer on your Christmas table will inspire you to do it every year! Do you want to know more about growing your own food? Contact us for more information ktransitiongroup@hotmail.com putting Grow Food in the subject.
