POTATO DAYS 2014
This list of days around the country when potato tubers are being sold has been compiled to compliment an article by Bill Sowerbutts focussing on seeds, which is in the December 2013 edition of The Cottage Gardener magazine. It has been compiled from information scoured from the internet, but cannot hope to be a complete list and we give no promises as to its accuracy! We suggest you check locally for details of the events listed and also check for additional, unlisted days in your area. At many of the Potato Days other items, such as onion sets, rhubarb crowns and fruit trees, are also sold.
Pannard Plants are organising potato days in Somerset, Dorset, Wiltshire and surrounding counties, as well as one in London at the Garden Museum http://www.potato-days.net/
