5 A Day Made Easy With Grow-your-own Vegetable Seeds

Sept. 18, 2011 - PRLog -- By now, we’re all aware that we should be getting our ‘5 a day’: five portions of fruit and vegetables every day. Fruit and vegetables are a good source of essential vitamins and minerals which keep us in good health and growing your own veg is a great way to ensure you get your 5 a day. Vegetable seeds from leading online seed retailer Seeds By Post (http://www.seedsbypost.co.uk/) provide you with a cheap way of stocking your kitchen with lots of tempting, healthy, fresh veg.
   
Eating lots of vegetables protects the body against chronic illness, heart disease and even some cancers.  Vegetables are often high in fibre, rich in vitamins and minerals and make a welcome addition to meals. Growing your own from veg seeds costs very little and yet can provide a bountiful amount of the most beautiful veg which you can enjoy season after season. You can’t compare the taste of home grown vegetables with the mass-produced veg found in supermarkets which has often been flown in from other countries. Grow your own vegetables from seeds and you ensure you get the freshest, cream of the crop each and every time, and you save money too! What’s more, gardening and tending an allotment are great forms of exercise, so not only are you on your way to 5 a day, but you’re getting all-important regular exercise too.
   
Here at Seeds By Post, we have one of the widest ranges of vegetable seeds available anywhere online. Think of just about any vegetable and you’ll find their seeds on the Seeds By Post website, from top brands of seeds in the UK, such as Unwins, Johnsons, Mr Fothergills, Suttons and Thompson & Morgan. We’ve made it really simple to add to your seeds collection, by grouping our veg seeds by manufacturer, vegetable category (leaf vegetable, beans and peas, salad, etc.), vegetable type, planting month and harvest date. If you’re just starting out, select a few easy growing vegetables – carrots, radishes or onions, for instance. And if you’re a more experienced grower why not choose from one of our collections of vegetable seeds, such as ‘Taste of Italy’ or ‘Marvellous Mushrooms’?
