Potato Day a great success and our hedge plants arrive

On Saturday 1st March, the Black Isle Transition Group held their Potato Day.  Connorhan and Mr Macfarlane were there to help out.

Setting up all the boxes...

 ...then the customers arrived

There was a good turn-out 

 Connorhan helping out on the Seed-Swap table.

 There were two sessions, with time for "re-stocking" in between.

 There were 75 different varieties available with a mix of First Early, Second Early, Maincrop and Late Maincrop!  Names ranged from Accord and Apache, to Valor and Vivaldi.

 The seed potatoes were 15p each.  Connorhan here helps to take the payments.

 Black Isle Transition Group also had their own information table set up.

Our two DiGGers enjoy a lunch break!  Keep up the good work you two!

At the end, we were kindly given 14 different varieties to sell to parents and staff for raising club funds as well as keeping some to plant ourselves in the garden.  Thank you very much to the TBI group.

Also this week, we took delivery of 105 hedge plants - a native mix to encourage birds and wildlife.  They came from the Woodland Trust - more about what species they are later when we start planting them out so watch this space!
