Grow your own
Today is the last day of the RHS National Gardening Week, designed to get us all growing and celebrating gardening. Whether you’ve got green fingers or not, how about growing your own culinary herbs for easy picking throughout the summer? Simply sprinkle a few basil seeds in a container full of compost on a sunny windowsill to perk up your tomato dishes or to make pesto sauce. You’ll find simple instructions on All About You. And if you fancy a day out, visit the National Gardening Week website to see what’s on near you.
Happy Sunday
