In this episode Joanne gives you three easy growing projects to choose from that can still be done at this time of year, work well with children helping, and don't need any special equipment or knowledge, literally just a cheap grow bag of compost.

Idea one - windowsill pea shoots

Idea two - rescuing supermarket herbs

Idea three - Christmas potatoes
