#518 We took a trip to our Local flower and Produce show

Good day, fellow garden enthusiasts! In episode 518 of the Veg Grower Podcast, we embarked on an exciting journey that took us from tending our allotment to exploring the vibrant world of local flower and produce exhibits. Let's dive into the highlights of this episode: Allotment Update: Clearing Weeds, Cutting Grass, and More We started by giving you the latest scoop on our allotment. From battling stubborn weeds to maintaining a well-groomed lawn and addressing blighted tomatoes, we covered it all. Plus, the squash plants are flourishing – a promising sign for our upcoming harvest. Supporters Club Advert Before delving deeper into our adventures, we took a moment to express our gratitude to our dedicated supporters. Your continued support keeps our podcast thriving! A Day at the Flower and Produce Show The heart of this episode was our visit to the local Flower and Produce Show. We strolled through the exhibits, marvelling at the impressive displays of fruits, vegetables, and flowers. Our hosts contemplated the possibility of participating in next year's event, drawing inspiration from the talented exhibitors. Culinary Delights: Scott's Chinese Braised Aubergine Recipe We couldn't resist sharing a mouth-watering recipe with you! Scott's Chinese Braised Aubergine recipe is a delightful treat for the taste buds. If you're looking for a creative way to enjoy aubergines from your garden, this recipe is a must-try. Veg Plot Update: Surprises and Challenges Our journey continued with an update on our veg plot. A mischievous squirrel had a hand (or paw) in damaging the roots of our beloved blackberry plant. But, on a brighter note, we witnessed the bare-rooted trees sprouting fresh leaves, and we proudly planted an abundance of Swiss chard. Thank you for joining us on this podcasting adventure, and we hope you enjoyed the journey as much as we did.
