Studies have shown that gardening is good for both the body and the mind, and in fact, some GPs have even started writing prescriptions for gardening!

This Summer, we're encouraging as many people as possible to get into an outdoor space and take part in our Summer initiative, 'Grow Along Live'. Whether you've got a 20-acre plot or a Juliet balcony, you can in.

On Friday 9th July, gardener Mark Lane will be planting Spinach, Rocket, Kale and Basil on the Morning Live balcony, all of which are incredibly easy to grow and ready to harvest in just a few weeks.

To take part, simply grab yourself some seeds from your local garden centre, a container or plot in your outdoor space and some compost, and Mark will show you how to get started. You can also follow along on our social pages for Mark's bonus tips on growing Lettuce and Parsley too.

We'd love to see what you grow, so send us your pictures and we may feature them on the show across the Summer!

Send us your pictures!
