Last week whilst out and about on a Sunday drive we happened upon one those agricultural events that make up this largely rural area.

A potatoe festival ! yep, and it was actually alot of fun and really quite interesting. The farmers were there selling their ‘taties and I bought some to plant next month. Hopefully in August I will be doing my own potato harvest along with picking fruit from my Plum trees and the strawberries too.

We have a nice strip of land at the back which already has rhubarb planted but I am looking forward to my potatoes as this land is known for them.

I am also now converted to buying my fresh produce from the farmers markets – alot cheaper and I know I am giving my money directly to the growers themselves.
