While damp weather is making it tricky to get in to the garden there is still plenty to keep Dave and Jules Hardy busy at Esker Farm Daffodils. Since David\u2019s last visit the county Tyrone couple have added a large garden area which shows how the daffodils can be grown in mixed borders. Amy Kelly kicks off the Great Gardeners\u2019 Corner Grow Along by sowing Beetroot, Carrots and Sugar Snap Peas. In Dublin, Oliver Shurmann picks some seasonal highlights at Mount Venus nursery and friend of the programme Jekka McVicar joins David to chat about her new book \u2018100 Herbs to Grow\u2019. Also on the show, Claire McNally is in studio to answer questions and suggest some garden jobs for the St Patrick\u2019s weekend. Contact the programme on gardenerscorner@bbc.co.uk.
