"During the whole covid lockdowns, it's like a two-minute walk from my house, it really helped Zoe and I," the soap star said. "And the dogs came up with us and the children came up with us and getting your hands in the earth, it's so good for your mental health.
The family regularly grew some of their own food for their daily meals. Jeff added: "Just watching something grow is such a positive experience because it reaffirms life.”
