Pontefract has rhubarb, Retford has strawberries, Devon has cream. But, what grows well in Sheffield? My nomination would be rapeseed. It grows in abundance, especially around High Green. I grew it in my garden and it spread like wild fire. Sheffield must have the perfect climate for it.

 

What do you think grows well in Sheffield? Are your mushrooms sprouting up a treat? Do your turnips blossom in the local climate?
