If you’re looking to naturalise your garden with a sea of bulbs that even have a great vase life, then narcissi are a wonderful addition to your greenery. While some varieties fit the description of ‘rubber duck yellow’, those with rich colour and a rousing scent earn the respect of Sarah and Arthur.

For this week’s edible veg, we hear about purple sprouting broccoli which, even during a time of year where it is notably harder to grow-your-own vegetables, is incredibly generous. Hear how Sarah includes purple sprouting in a lovely pasta dish, and Arthur’s advice on complementing them with aesthetically pleasing, round structures.

In this episode, discover:

  • How to naturalise your garden with an abundance of narcissi
  • Sarah and Arthur’s ideal selection of narcissi
  • Growing a generous crop of purple sprouting broccoli
  • Pairing purple sprouting with pasta for a delicious dish
