Hello and welcome to episode 499 of The Veg Grower podcast! In today's episode, I'm excited to share my experience at the Gardeners World Spring Fair in Beaulieu. But before we dive into that, let's start with some updates from my allotment. Allotment update Down on the allotment I have been busy adding the final touches to the new beds, this included using a reciprocating saw to repurpose a piece of wood already on the allotment and build 2 new beds. Just in time to get planted in the next few weeks I have also been planting tomatoes and harvesting asparagus My day at the Gardeners World Spring Fair. This event is one of the most anticipated gardening shows of the year, bringing together enthusiasts from all over the world to celebrate gardening and horticulture. At the fair, I had the opportunity to meet with some incredible exhibitors, attend informative workshops, and speak with the one and only "Skinny Jean Gardener" Lee Connelly. Lee is a well-known garden expert and host of the popular podcast "The Skinny Jean Gardener Show," and it was a pleasure to talk with him about his passion for gardening and the highlights of the Spring Fair. Garden update This week in the vegetable gardens I have been concentrating on tiding my sheds, the long weekend being the ideal time for this. I have also been spending time potting in plants, pricking out seedlings and sowing many seeds including sweetcorn and beans And finally As always, I like to end each episode of The Veg Grower Podcast with a recipe featuring produce from my garden. Today's recipe features one of my favourite springtime vegetables: asparagus. Grilled Asparagus with Lemon Ingredients: 1 bunch of asparagus, trimmed 2 tbsp olive oil 1 tbsp lemon juice Salt and pepper, to taste Instructions: Preheat a grill or grill pan to medium-high heat. In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, lemon juice, salt, and pepper. Toss the asparagus in the mixture until well coated. Grill the asparagus for 5-7 minutes, turning occasionally, until lightly charred and tender. Transfer the asparagus to a serving dish and serve. This dish is simple, flavourful, and highlights the fresh and delicate flavour of asparagus. Give it a try and let me know what you think! That's it for today's episode of The Veg Grower Podcast. Thank you for tuning in and I hope you enjoyed hearing about my day at the Gardeners World Spring Fair in Beaulieu.
