Both Nick and I, in our various domestic environments throughout the years have experience of vegetable and flower growing, in back gardens, on allotments, in greenhouses and polytunnels. Windowsills and hanging baskets have come into play too. We would like to encourage everyone to try growing something of their own from seed.
