Jayne Neville first got 'hooked' on growing vegetables when she lived in a terraced house in suburbia, orginally using grow bags on her patio to grow tomatoes. She is now a market gardener running a successful box scheme and providing fresh vegetables from her smallholding in Lincolnshire, England, to local shops. |
