Nothing quite says spring has arrived like Daffodil’s do. These well-known garden treasures come in a wide range of shapes, sizes, colours and types. The days of only bright yellow Daffodils being available are gone; now you can find numerous shades of white, orange, lemon, cream and ivory. There is bound to be a Daffodil to suit most gardens, and they’re almost fool proof. Ideal for picking for the vase as they last for over a week.

Simple yet delicious, this recipe pairs two popular garden harvests for a tasty dish the whole family will love. Many of you have summer spuds ready to dig or already dug from the garden.
