Allotments 4 All

Glasgow Allotments Forum  will be holding their 3rd GAF POTATO DAY on Sunday 23rd Februry 2014 at The Pearce Institute, 840/860 Govan Road, Govan, G51 3UU, 11am-3pm. (Close to Govan underground station)

All are welcome, so please spread the word to friends, family, schools, work-mates and fellow gardeners. Once again, we will be joined by Glasgow Food Network who will be running a seed-swap table and some workshops. The cafe will be open for tea, coffee and home-baking(fabulous).
This year we have 45 varieties of seed potato, the majority of which are Scottish grown; the remainder will come direct from the Sarvari Trust in North Wales, whose work into breeding blight & generally disease resistant stock is world famous. You can again buy from as little as 1 tuber to larger amounts, although the day is more about variety than quantity.

I hope the day goes well, sounds like everyone will have a super choice of tatties. Amazing work being done at the Sarvari Trust 

They are great for buying and trying new varieties as you can literally buy one seed spud.  Pity my local one was cancelled - now wondering where to get my spuds. Online I have to buy in packs and even my local GC only has them in bags by weight.  I like to try a few new spuds each year and only want a couple of spuds..

Hope you find somewhere close by    There are a couple of varieties I'd love to try this year but as we don't seem to have any potato days down this way so it doesn't look promising! I guess I have slight envy for those that have local days 

Same here Jayb 

I used to go to Bowburn, Co. Durham but sadly they've stopped doing potato day & there isn't another that I know of in the north east
