The gardeners among you may have been caught up in a 'Potato Event' or 'Potato Day' or even a 'Spud Bash'. Today has been my first experience of such an event. What we found upon going to what is a normally very quiet garden centre was cars parked all over the road, two flourescent jacket wearing parking attendants, people everywhere and a bewildering array of types of potatos to choose from, with lots of overheard conversations about potato varieties, chips/roasties even the dreaded blight. You can buy huge sacks, individual spuds or mix and match your 'apples of the ground'. We chose a sensibly sized paper bag of 'Oriana' a first early salad potato with a waxy texture. I expect over the year there will be some more daily details of the pots!

We also bought potatoes on Saturday
25 Kilos of reds, it would tak far too much effort to plant them ( or paint them!!!! )
So i think we had better at them
or even eat them!
