3 Cheers for Spears at Harvest Picnic!
but also by the sight of delicious asparagus recipes cooked on the BBQ by Roger Goold and Valerie Kemp of My Kitchen Moves (see pictured). Aussie growers are encouraging everyone to get patriotic and tuck into loads of luscious Aussie spears whenever they fire up their BBQs. Popular foodie, Jo Richardson, was as colourful as the gift wrapped asparagus on the day!
Green, white and purple asparagus were on show and for sale on the day and grower Delma Hobson ran Asparagus Bunching Competitions, which were lots of fun as well as providing a visual story of how asparagus is graded, weighed, bunched and tagged before it reaches the shops.
