Yesterday afternoon based on the advice I’d received in my previous post about growing herbs I headed over to my local Homebase to see what was on offer. I was pretty impressed with the range of idiot proof kits that they have on offer for growing herbs and vegetables at home easily. The “grow your [...]

Trying To Grow Kitchen Herbs
For the last year or so I’ve been trying to grow some fresh herbs in my kitchen. Unfortunately it hasn’t always been successful and I’ve probably ended up having to dump as many plants as I’ve been able to keep. The only herb that seems to grow without issue and can survive my rather sporadic [...]

Since I started this diet regime back in January I have changed my eating and shopping habits quite dramatically. Previously my lunch on work days (Monday to Friday) was a roll or possibly a salad plate from the corner shop.

I’m not sure how many hens they had, but we always had fresh eggs which we knew were 100% natural and would probably have qualified as “organic”.
