Fresh ideas straight from your garden

Kitty Scully serves up home thoughts to make the most of your garden.

WITH June just around the corner, summer is nominally here and I am envisioning sun, fun and barbecues with big bowls of freshly picked, lush, leafy green and coloured salad leaves.

Pre-packed mixed salad leaves sold in supermarkets are expensive to buy and usually contain a cocktail of chemicals in the bag to boot but for the same price (around €2.80) a pack of mixed salad seeds can be purchased.
