I read this article elsewhere and it's based on public opinion (of people who live in Yorkshire) and has no factual basis.
That doesn’t ring true - people living in Yorkshire have an opinion? And someone listened to them?

Nah.........

You’re wrong, it was a large panel of judges from the gardening World, headed by Dermid Gavin (spelling) to be fair if Henry vIII could have been bothered to get his fat arse moving & ventured North he would have realised that Kent was a shit hole compared to Yorkshire.

Presumably didn’t visit Bradford during judging.

No, I‘m not. The Garden of England is still officially Kent, regardless of whether it’s full of chavs and Europikeys. As has been said above, it’s know as the Garden of England because of the fruit and hop growing. Yorkshire will never equal that because the south east generally sees more sun and the weather is much warmer. There’s no ferrets or Jack Russells to dig everything up either.

Yorkshire is also full of overweight women that talk funny and wear pot noodle stained pyjamas in public

Yes you are, Kent was named garden of England by the fat lazy bastard Henry vIII solely because he liked the Cherries, if he was a rhubarb lover then he’d have given the title to West Yorkshire.
If Kent fruit is so good why do we import 84% of fruit & veg?
Btw cherries are f#cking awful

Kent can’t grow enough fruit to feed the whole UK, hence the amount we import. You’re also forgetting that it’s not possible to grow certain produce, like bananas, pineapple, coconut and mango, here.

The Rhubarb Triangle (or Tusky Triangle,[1][failed verification] from a Yorkshire word for rhubarb) is a 9-square-mile (23 km2) area of West Yorkshire, England between Wakefield, Morley and Rothwell famous for producing early forced rhubarb. It includes Kirkhamgate, East Ardsley, Stanley, Lofthouse and Carlton.[2] The Rhubarb Triangle was originally much bigger, covering an area between Leeds, Bradford and Wakefield.[3] From the 1900s to 1930s, the rhubarb industry expanded and at its peak covered an area of about 30 square miles (78 km2).[4]

Rhubarb is native to Siberia and thrives in the wet cold winters in Yorkshire. West Yorkshire once produced 90% of the world's winter forced rhubarb from the forcing sheds that were common across the fields there.[5

So, where do you grow rubarb?

In an allotment!

So if Yorkshire is anything it's the allotment of England ;)

In my garden, in my fields, in rhubarb farms, in fact just plant it anywhere & watch it grow.
My daughter has a cherry tree that produces loads of fruit every year but she doesn’t get chance to eat them as the birds strip the trees, proving that cherries are nothing more than bird food.
Kent is a shithole famous for growing bird food
