If you’re worried about potential food shortages, or about the rising cost of fresh produce, now might be a good time to start growing some of your own vegetables.

Vegetable seeds are often cheap to buy – from as little as 75p for a packet of salad leaf seeds, for example. You can save money on equipment by reusing plastic food pots and fruit trays to sow seeds in, or
