Hi all gardeners

My name is Peter Dowdall, I run Dunsland Garden Centre in Cork. I present a number of gardening features on RTE and TV3 along with C103FM in Cork and I keep a blog where I try and give helpful tips on all matters related to gardening in Ireland.

I have a deep love for and interest in gardening and a certain amount of knowledge. I am delighted to see the recent growth (excuse the pun) in gardening in Ireland and if I can help with any queries I will be more than happy to try to.
I have recently posted an article about January in the garden on www.peterdowdall.com


Regards

Peter Dowdall

Welcome Peter, good article. we just need a bit more 'de icing' and we should be good to go. I agree on feeding the birds, quite a hard time for them at the moment.

Thanks Red Fox,

I think I need some more de icing whatever about the garden. The poor birds are suffering though. I will be updating the site pretty regularly and am glad of all comments
