My Best Organic

There’s no denying it, Jamie Oliver is a bit of a legend. His work to raise the standards of food in schools is fantastic. I’ve recently seen that a firm are producing vending machines for schools that are stocked only with organic and healthy snacks - what a great idea. Children like vending machines! Schools, unfortunately, have in some cases become reliant on the extra income from selling snacks so it’s such good news that businesses are starting to provide alternatives for forward-thinking institutions.

Another aspect that I think Jamie has been helpful in, is encouraging new gardeners to have a go at growing their own food. On his website that he even has organic herb seeds with shiny grow-bag gift packs. With such enticing packaging and with Jamie’s name on it, who could resist? With fresh organic herbs so difficult to come by, it seems like a sensible solution. In that spirit I have a pack of basil seeds to try. I don’t have a particularly successful history of looking after plants, but I’m guessing the motivation of fresh basil in my quiche and in pasta sauces will be quite useful x
