Potato sale in Suffolk, 2009

[poozie]

whilst looking for places to buy seed potatoes for next year i stumbled across this : East Anglia Potato Day

solves my problem of buying the small quantities of different varieties that i like. and as its held on Valentines day its a day out for hubby too.

Crikey.... your organised...!!

I hope hubby's as excited by the idea of a Valentine's potato day as I would be!

Thanks for the tip-off, looks good. They had 700 people last year.
It's 3 hrs by public transport for me (nightmare) but half that by car. So Mr Sheds will have to come too
(It's also right near my sister's so we could drop in for dinner afterwards perhaps)

my hubby is excited by the prospect but will be less so at the time of planting.

Thanks for that link, Poozie - I want to get just a few seed potatoes this year, so the Potato Day would be ideal. Hmm, Valentines Day - perhaps I can convince my OH that we should have a romantic trip out to the Suffolk coast

A bit too far for me. Luckily one of the stalls in the local market sells different varieties of seed potato's as well as other seeds and plants.

Other attractions include a speaker, seeds, books, tools, refreshments, produce, chip tasting, information and advice.

Sounds good, with a seed swop opportunity and a Valentines lunch = bag of chips!

thanks for that info.....just doing a search to find where i can get individual seed potatoes....shouldnt be to difficult to get to from me.

I am thinking about going down to this event but it is a long way to go.
I have asked for details about it.
Was anyone on here there last year?
I wonder if they provide the stalls or if you have to take your own?
I have never gone to one of these before.

[Two_Sheds]

I'd like to go ... long way for me on a bike though. Bike + train = nightmare

[EssexGirl]

Thankyou for posting - i think i am going to try and go along, even though i am new to growing potatoes, sounds like it will be a nice day out!

Maybe i can persuade my other half with the 'chip and potato tasting'!

I'm hoping to go to the Dunblane one on the 28th February (a bit closer to home!), looks fun!

Or for those of you that can't wait, I was in my local Wilkos today and they were doing packs of 5 seed tatties for £1, several varieties.
