It’s a bit previous but…

Talk about looking into the future! We’ve just found out that the dates for next year’s London Potato Fair are 9th and 10th February 2019 11.00am-2.00pm, yes it’s over 2 days! The venue is the same as this years: Roots & Shoots, Walnut Tree Walk, Lambeth SE11 6DN.

Not sure if it will include a seed swap but you they’ll be more info nearer the time on the Roots & Shoots website here and for details of all potato days in the UK next year are at http://www.potato-days.net

If you’re organising anything like a potato day, plant sale or seed swap, do give us a bit of notice and send us the details and we’ll post it up!

It’s that time of year again

Happy New Year and a big shout to everyone who’s survived the festive period without a cold, the flu or a chest infection! Sadly we’ve been out the game for a couple of weeks due to illness but we’re back on track now. A date we’re looking forward to is Sunday 11th February when there’s a Seed Potato and Vegetable Seed Shop at Roots and Shoots, Walnut Tree Walk, London SE11 6DN. It runs from 11am until 2pm and looks like it’ll be a good morning out. More details here.

And for no reason at all apart from hearing it on BBC Radio 6 this evening, a odd sausage of a tune by Serge Gainsbourg and Brigitte Bardot called Bonnie and Clyde from the grand old year of 1968. The big question is, is it a Cuíca or a human voice making the strange sound?
