Spring Pots - from Hyacinths to Tulips with Dan Cooper, The Frustrated Gardener
You know Alan Gray and Thordis adore an underloved plant on Talking Dirty - and this week's guest is the same. Dan Cooper is shining the spotlight on Hyacinths this week, plus Tulips, Narcissi and lots of other seasonal lovelies.
And, as his new business Dan Cooper Garden launches, we're keen to hear about what he's got in store for us, from tools and bulbs to some great articles packed with advice. In fact Alan is so taken with one item from the Dan Cooper range that he forgets the flowers when it comes to his FLOMO*, though don't worry we still managed to pack in lots of plants (as that plant list testifies!)
