Reading all your comments from down south, I see many of you have already planted your earlies, it's still rather early for us up here in the wilds;
thought this potato day in dunblane 11th March might be of interest to you, it's a wee run in the car, if nothing else, only thing it's on a Tuesday

I have seen a different date of the 1st March for this potato day in Dunblane and do not know which is the correct date. I would advise a check if possible with the organisers of the event.
There is also a Potato Day in Edinburgh Sun Feb 24th at the Inch Community Centre.
I will be at the Borders showground in Kelso 2nd March
