Mic The Gardener - Gardening Podcast - Daffodils with Ian Tyler, Chair of the Daffodil Society

Hello, I'm Mike Palmer, your host of the Mic the Gardener – Gardening Podcast. Welcome back to this week's episode. It's the middle of March (already!) and my garden is full of daffodils. I always think daffodils really are the harbingers of spring with their bright, cheery yellow trumpets. And of course, not just yellow trumpets these days, as you’ll find out today. In today's episode I chat to the Chair of The Daffodil Society, Ian Tyler about everything you could possibly need to know about growing daffodils in the ground and in containers. In fact-filled episode we talk about: How to choose healthy bulbs How to plant daffodils and their preferred growing medium How much light daffodils need to grow away Caring for daffodils and general maintenance After-care, once flowers have gone over Propagation Pests and diseases Daffodil blindness And, as discussed during this episode the Daffodil Society Show is 16-17 April at the Birmingham Botanical Gardens, Westbourne Road, Edgbaston, B15 3TR.
