Bankside beauty, daylilies and drought

Join David as he finds out what plants are best adapted to dealing with drought. Among them, the daylily, which Maurice Parkinson believes should be more popular in the UK and Ireland. How to transform a steep and uninviting bank; David visits Randalstown where local volunteers have transformed an old railway embankment into a thing of beauty. Also on the programme, Klaus Laitenberger on how to use the bits of veg we normally throw away and how do you know the right time to dig up your home grown spuds? All that and David will be joined by Claire McNally and Cherry Townsend who will answer listeners’ questions including one about a mystery ‘weed’.
