In this week’s episode of the Mike the Gardener - Gardening Podcast , I chat with garden writer, veg grower and author, Rob Smith .
Rob’s new book ‘Grow to Eat: Growing Colourful & Tasty Vegetables From Seed’ is published by Quadrille Publishing on 28th March, 2024 and in this episode we chat about:
How Rob’s passion for growing veg started
His career to date
How the book came about
The BBC TV programme, The Great Allotment Challenge, which Rob won in 2015
Rob’s plans for the future, and of course lots more.
We also speak to Rob’s friend, gardener, maker, upcycler and lover of all things vintage, Darren Lakin .
