Home Grown Gardens
Welcome to Home Grown Gardens where we hope you will join us in enjoying being in the garden, growing your own fruit and vegetables, and of course, eating them! Flowers and shrubs in your garden should bring colour, scent, and wildlife all the year round, so long as you can get outside to enjoy it all.
There is no mystery to gardening, or to growing fruit and veg, so start small and do more each year. Being in your garden and growing your own veg and plants should be fun and rewarding, not yet another stress agent. There is no need to have straight lines, and neatly clipped edges, but good soil is fundamental. No chemicals are used by Home Grown Gardens, which means anything from the garden or veg plot can be eaten with confidence. But, being in North Yorkshire and on the edge of town means every pest you can think of, wild and domestic, visits. Growing, eating, sharing, is the ethos of Home Grown Gardens, so it's nice to have you with us.
Summer 2019 Who knows what summer we will have, but the garden will grow, and you’ll be able to pick your own veg, and flowers, and enjoy being out in your space.

Grow your own vegetablesIt’s good to sit in your garden and do nothing for a while, and make a mental list of what needs doing. But that’s not easy! Then get going: Hoe, or pull out any weed seedlings before they take the moisture and nutrients from the plants you want to grow. Pick off pests, and look for them under stones, and behind pots. Water every so often with a good long soak, preferably at night, but early morning as well if you know it’s a hot day ahead. Pots and baskets can really suffer with no water as they dry out quickly, so maybe move them to the shade.
