Grow your own veg? Ever thought about farming at home? All you really need is light and water, in the age of plant pots and grow bags you can grow anything. You can even make life even easier by buying ready grown plants from your local nursery.

And to support your climbing beans use local coppiced bean poles rather than imported bamboo and help sustain your local woodland.

Nearly all fruit and vegetables have a much better flavour when fresh and ‘just picked’ and what better way to persuade kids to eat ‘yukky greens’ than getting them involved in the growing. Especially if they experience the magic of growing from seeds. For the best and easiest, try a climbing bean and wonder if it will grow up to the clouds with a giant at the top guarding a golden egg.

Once you are a professional you may want to get an allotment and start selling your surplus to local people and even your local shop! To find your local bean pole supplier or nursery for seeds, herb and veg plants, fruit trees, and great advice type your postcode here.
