1 THEY TASTE FANTASTIC The fresher they are, the more flavours they have, and you can’t get fresher than vegetables picked from your own garden half an hour before they hit your plate. Unlike supermarket vegetables, gardeners’ varieties such as those in the Unwins Bursting with Flavour collection are selected on the basis of their outstanding flavour, rather than their ability to handle travel and storage.
2 THEY’RE HEALTHY What better way to top up your 5-a-day than with your own homegrown vegetables?
Freshly picked, organically grown produce will be packed with vitamins and nutrients too. But it’s not just the produce itself that’s healthy. Getting out in the fresh air to sow and tend your crops is good for you and brilliant exercise. It’s fun for children to join in with too – and gardening’s great for reducing stress.
