BBC Radio Ulster - Gardeners' Corner, How to prune your apple trees? Success with spuds and some Meath Magic

Early autumn gardening inspiration with David Maxwell and his expert guests.

Early autumn gardening inspiration with David Maxwell, including looking after apples, success with spuds and a return to the Insomniac Gardener for some Meath magic.

As Autumn shades being to show, David Maxwell heads to Florence Court where they are still finishing summer pruning the apple trees.  The National Trust garden has one of the best collections of Irish heritage varieties on the Island.  Volunteer David Bolton explains his work in identifying varieties and the recent rediscovery of the Wine apple which it was thought has disappeared. In Lurgan, Taghnevan Community Allotments provides a hub for locals interested in growing their own and the programme returns to Rosie Maye’s garden in County Meath for some more early Autumn highlights.  Cherry Townsend will join David in studio. Contact the programme on gardenerscorner@bbc.co.uk
