Countryfile and Springwatch presenter katehumble shares her tips.
"Even if you’ve just got a windowsill, there are lots of things you can grow," says the nature presenter and cookbook author excitedly."[There is] great pleasure to be had in providing some of the things you eat yourself."
"So rather than thinking, ‘Oh my God, I’ve got to be self-sufficient’ – I would say this to anybody, whether they’ve got a garden or not: You can buy perfectly good carrots at your local farm shop, or in the supermarket. But if you want purple carrots, for example, and you might – they are delicious – grow those."
She recommends reusing old plastic boxes ."Keep that plastic box, put some earth in it, tamp it down a little bit, put your seeds on the top of that tiny bit of earth – not much," advises Humble."Sprinkle a bit of water on top, put it on your windowsill and you will grow your microherbs. They’ll grow so fast, you’ll get them in like 10 days – and they’ll keep coming back."
