Midwest Radio Gardening Show

The second programme of the autumn series focused on key tasks that gardeners should be considering at this time of year. Paraic gave lots of advice on planting now for spring, particularly bulbs for new year colour. He also discussed planting options to maintain colour in the garden during the winter months including ornamental vegetables, heathers and cyclamen. Listeners questions included maintenance and pruning of apple trees and orchards and how to take cuttings from herbs such as rosemary, lavender, sage and thyme.
