What snow does for the garden, fixing rusty leeks and what to harvest in January

BBC Radio Ulster - Gardeners' Corner, What snow does for the garden, fixing rusty leeks and what to harvest in January

Winter gardening inspiration with David Maxwell and his expert guests.

Winter gardening inspiration with David Maxwell including; a visit to Downhill Demesne in the snow, protecting tender plants when the mercury drops and the January harvest.

What happens to our gardens when it snows? This week David Maxwell heads to Downhill Demesne on Antrim’s north coast to see how a blanket of white transforms how we experience the garden. He also chats to Una Quinn about her plans for the Bog Garden there in 2024.  Along the coast in an equally cold Ballyvoy, Conrad McCormick is protecting his tender plants as the mercury drops and on the shores of Strangford Lough, Amy Kelly is able to harvest veg from her allotment despite it being midwinter. Expert Claire McNally will join David in studio to take live questions including one from a listener with rusty leeks and another who is growing peppers indoors through the colder months.
