In today's video I'm sharing my favourite easy to grow vegetables (perfect for beginners!), tips for small spaces like balconies and windowsills and growing herbs and edible flowers. We'll also be talking about how to plan out your vegetable patch, deal with pests and diseases and store your produce for the colder months. I hope this inspires you to get growing!
