Growing your own vegetables has many practical benefits as well as being an enjoyable and satisfying hobby. There is nothing fresher than a tomato which you have picked from the plant. If you are concerned about food miles as many of us are, then there is nothing closer than a short walk down your garden path.

And you do not need a large area to be able to enjoy home grown crops. You can even make do with a few containers.
If you are starting from scratch here is a blueprint which walks you through the seven steps involved in creating a new kitchen garden. These are described in an article by Jonathan Leger which he has written specially for us. Go to the next page to read his article.
