The Potato Day

The potato day was even better than expected. Although we missed the talks we got there for the last couple of hours in the afternoon. As well as potatoes there was the chance to buy organic seeds, seed swap, details about recycling and composing and how to assess your carbon footprint.

We decided to sample a few potatoes, both for show quality and taske to know what we should specialise in next year.

We got 4-8 of:
Lady Crystl
Juliette
Osprey
Romano
Winston
Royal Kidney
Manna
Pink Fir Apple

Plus 2.5kg of:
Kestrel
Picasso

We also took the change to get seeds of more unusual varieties to experiment with:
Purple Podded Pea
Seedless Grape Tomato
Dwarf Soya Bean
Jenny Lind Melon
Cherokee Purple Tomato
Green Globe Artichoke
Black Salsify
Mamoth Sandwich Island Salsify
Prague Giant Celariac
Gynera Cardinculus Cardoon
Lily White Sea Kale

and a bag of Topper Shallots
