     microgreens in the last ten years both commercially for the supermarkets and by gardeners. They are very easy to grow and
will count as one of your five a day, take up virtually no space and add some healthy food to your meals. There are a range of crops to grow including cress, alfalfa, pea shoots, beetroot, broccoli and radish.
Finally, try to reduce the amount of plastic used in the garden. Where you have to use plastic try to recycle it as often as possible. Plastic pots and seed trays can be reused many times as can plastic labels. Waste items from the kitchen like yogurt pots are good for growing young plants in if holes are made in the base
for drainage. Meat trays from the supermarket, washed out and again holes for drainage make excellent seed trays and can be used many
times.
   If you would like further ideas of what can be done in the garden to help reduce climate change, please see Kelvin Mason’s book ‘Climate Adaptive Gardening’ published by The Crowood Press.
