Sustainable gardening charity Garden Organic has joined forces with vegetable growing app Fryd in a bid to ‘revolutionise’ how it collects data from gardeners for its annual survey.
In the most recent survey, Garden Organic asks gardeners to rate the performance of ten common crops on a scale from one to five to provide a snapshot into how each crop has fared under the year’s growing conditions.
Available throughout November, the survey uses Fryd for the first time, enabling gardeners to log their findings via their mobile phone for ease.
“Gardeners are on the front line of climate change, they see and feel the seasons shift, but advice hasn’t kept pace,” says Florian Hassler, co-founder at Fryd. “With Fryd Lab, one five-minute contribution could help your whole area get better local sowing and planting guidance next season.”
As 2024 was known as ‘the year of the slug’, 2025 is expected to be valuable since this year’s heatwaves, drought and hosepipe bans.
Free to download, Fryd is available on both iOS and Android platforms. Results will be published in the new year.
