Potato Day was in full swing as soon as it started! It was cold, windy, grey, dull and generally a little dour but it didn’t rain! We had 46 varieties to buy by the tuber, including 17 organic ones. (pics courtesy of Trust Links)
This year we had Kamil’s popular and very welcome Seed Swap along with Dalefoot Composts.
We were delighted that Jeff Barber, the Eastern Region representative for The National Allotment Society, was able to come down again.
Mrs Nirmal Gupta, MBE, from the Essex Asian Women’s Association, cooked potato inspired authentic Indian cuisine on the day – delicious!
And Annette from Growing Together was selling locally produced mushrooms from Urban Farmers – almost a sell-out there!
So many thanks go to all who made this event happen and the people who came and showed that it is a needed event. Many spuds there be next year!
