Monks Wisdom

Let your favourite autumn dinner choose your growing project. Your future seedlings can take their time while you get to know the flavours.

Eight herbs or seed sets? The larger number is persuasive, but your cupboard and windowsill would like to join the decision.

Rain has cancelled the walk again. Clear the kitchen table and turn a wet afternoon into a growing project you can actually manage.

Snipping random leaves can leave a parsley pot looking tired. Take mature outer stems and give the centre room to keep growing.
