Potato Day – 26th February 2017
GAF POTATO DAY on Sunday 26 February, 2017,
11am-3pm at The Reidvale Neighbourhood Centre.
13 Whitevale St, Dennistoun Glasgow, G31 1QW.
This year we have over 50 varieties of seed potato, the majority of which are Scottish grown – a draft list will be on the GAF web site now but please remember it is not definitive yet. You will find old favourites as well as new additions and can again buy from as little as 1 tuber to larger amounts, although the day is more about variety than quantity. There will be onion sets, shallot sets and garlic as well as fertilisers, potato planter bags and Kings Seeds. New this year will be broad beans and peas ‘by the scoop’.
Please support our ‘Tattie Bash’ and grow a potato for charity. For the princely sum of £2 you will be given a pot + 1 seed potato tuber and asked to go away and grow your potato, returning in August to one of our ‘weigh-ins’ to see who can grow the heftiest crop of tatties with all proceeds going to the charity WaterAid; from a land of plenty water we’ll be helping people in parts of the world with little access to any water, let alone anything like the clean, safe drinking water we enjoy. http://www.wateraid.org .
Don’t forget there will be a tearoom with home baking.
