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. 

It’s a great episode and my thanks to Rob, and Darren for coming along to have a chat with us.
