Potato Days 2010

[philc]

I've managed to find details of 25 days next year they're at www.potatoday.org/potatodays.htm

The best, of course, being the Hampshire Potato Day now in its 12th year on 30th & 30th Jan in Whitchurch - that is a completely unbiased opinion - 2,000 people agreed earlier this year - they can't all be wrong!

If you haven't tried one or heard of the idea, then the days all have one thing in common - you can buy potato seed by the individual tuber - so if you have a small plot or want to try something new then they are ideal. They all have experts on hand to help answer you queries and are friendly places where you tend to meet people of a similar frame of mind - they all grow or want to grow potatoes.

If you know of any more events - or I've got something wrong please drop me an email (on the web page)

Sunday 14th of March at Gardenwise Garden Centre of Dumfries.
It is the second potato day there and Medwyn Williams will be there to offer all sorts of advice to any keen vegetable growers. I will be there as well to help with the potatoes.

Think I need to plan a visit to Dumfries

[Glutton4...]

Bum! My nearest one is Stowmaaaaaket!

Got mine in Wyevale last year (impulse purchase) had planned to get 'em from TattieMan!

We went to Stonham Barns, Stowmarket last year. Good day, but it pays to be early (and hope it's not too muddy).

Chesterfield Potato day

Thank you for this link :-) Chesterfield for me :-)

Chesterfield is slightly different from all the others in that it is organised by a Sustainability Group rather than a gardening group or gardening business. It's their second one so the first one presumably went well

Thanks for the information on Dumfries - unfortunately there's nothing on the GC's website about the event - I'll add it to the list

Thanks for adding us to your list. Border Organics event at Kelso will be on the 7th of March and I will be at that event aswell.

I have emailed Border Organics but have had no answer - I'll update their entry - Thanks again

Seems to be that no one grows potatoes in South Wales as my nearest one is Bristol which would mean a £5:50 bridge charge as well as the petrol to get there.
