Diary of a Yorkshire Gardener
Hi, I’m Francesca! 👩🏻🌾 I grow as much food and flowers as I can cram into our back garden and as of April 2023, my very own allotment plot in Harrogate, North Yorkshire🇬🇧
(I’m a fairly lazy gardener, I try to get by doing the minimum and I’m ALWAYS experimenting!)
I live with my husband, 2 young daughters and a cat. Our house and garden is rented so you’ll see I grow a lot in containers, to avoid disturbing roots whenever we next move!
I’m a keen advocate for gardening for mental health. Gardening keeps me sane in this crazy world! It also helps us save money on our ever growing food bill. I have learnt to cook, bake and preserve as much homegrown produce as I can, for all year round eating ☺️
Please do subscribe to my channel, to see my progress through the year and learn how to grow and preserve your own food! :)

Happy Growing!
Francesca
