Do something positive

It's easy to sit back and complain about how awful things are, isn't it? But is it easy to make stuff better? We think so....

Grow your own!

Personally, I don't like supermarkets. I prefer to shop locally in places where the shopkeepers are often the owners and know my name, but sometimes forget it. And I like to know where my food comes from. I'm lucky living in Herefordshire, which has got to be one of the best undiscovered food regions of the country. So I am able to buy direct from the farmer. This hasn't stopped me from trying to reduce those food miles to food feet though and growing my own.

They say it's the easiest thing in the world. Buy some seeds, stick them in some soil, and eat the finest veggies you'll have ever tasted! Let me know if you are getting on better than me. Photos are always appreciated... here are the first things in the garden.

The Rocket is going great guns at the moment, still eating purple sprouting and the lettuces and radishes are just appearing.
