Each year our friends at Pennards Plants, along with other local nurseries, hold a series of Potato Days, where you can go along and buy an enormous variety of seed potatoes, as well as onion and shallot sets and countless varieties of seeds and plants. It’s a real tonic on a dark January afternoon and a reminder that soon we will be crazily planting again and that the season is beginning.

The event is at the Southville Centre and runs from 11am to 3pm. Admission is free and you can find out more, as well as who will be giving free talks on the day, at http://www.potato-days.net

We’ll be there-will you?
