Growing Your Own Superfoods is Fun!

We love to grow our own vegetables and fruits here in Cornwall. We've been busy cultivating some anti oxidant rich black carrots, tomatoes, cucumbers, runner beans, peas, beetroot and courgette or (zucchini for our North American friends).

Growing your own is really easy. And its fun! Seed sowing times differ for all vegetables. But I sow my cucumber and tomato seeds in early February. They like to be kept warm. Here is a selection of our homegrown vegetables.

Cucumbers, tomatoes, beetroot were all planted in a small greenhouse and watered and fed regularly. The runner beans are fun and grown outdoors using canes. Again they are really easy, like the carrots they grow without any fuss outdoors. Start thinking about utilizing a small plot outside, and try it out. I recently started gardening in 2013, and I had no clue where to start. But it's just so simple. We like to encourage #homegrown wherever we can. The flavours are exceptional!

Happy gardening!x
