Potato Day Events Around the Country

I might go to the potato day at Kelso in February.
I think it is run by border organic allotment society.

[pipscariad]

*sniff*, not much for those of us in Wales

[SarzWix]

Sorry pipscariad, the only mention of one in Wales that I can find is the one in Mold It's a bit far for you to drive isn't it? Half a day to get there, half an hour to look round, half a day to get home again...

Perhaps one of your local garden centres will be doing something?

Yup . I'll have a sniff around and see if I can find anything.

OK, time to show my ignorance but being new to growing Veg, and having never grown a Spud in my life, I have to ask - what goes on at these 'Potato Days?'

(Ducks to avoid incoming flack...)

Never been to one myself, but i think it's lots of tables with baskets of different spuds, which you can buy however many you want, and there's people you can ask about growing them etc. Sometimes there's other stuff for sale like onion sets, seeds etc. Sometimes there's a seed swap, kids activities, refreshments. I'm looking forward to it

[Glutton4...]

Would I have to take part in the kids' activities?
