Hi Mark,
Thanks for the sunshine award and your comment. I was only asking for some sunshine the other day! and now I’ve got some, thanks for thinking of me. I will pass it on as read quite a few blogs and I can think of a few that others may like too. I’ve added your blog to my google reader so I can catch upon your news.

Thanks

Still harvesting my leeks. I am surprised that they survived the snow so well! I have left you an award on my blog. I hope you will accept, you are not obliged to pass it on. I just thought I would let you know that I like your blog.

Hi Tracey I’ve grown a few of these over the years. The ones I grew just last year can be seen at:

Some are so popular I wouldn’t call them ‘heritage’ anymore (eg Duke of York and Pink Fir Apple) Edzell Blues are excellent but the skill is to stop them cooking before they turn into a mush. Reputedly this was the test given to scottish cooks in times past…

Hi Nic,
When you’ve finished writing your potato reviews, send me a comment or use the contact me link and I’ll add a link next to the variety on this post so others can read your reviews.
I’m interested to see how your varieties grow especially Red Duke of York, I do like red potatoes, I grew Desiree a few years back and they looked great when I dug them up!

Thanks
Tracey

Hi Damo, Thanks for your kind comments. Glad you like the guide & blog. Sounds like you've found a great deal with your local Horticultural society, I know there is something similar if you have an allotment, some seed companies give you discounts on group purchases. And of course there's always seed swaps as well. Here's a few sites that run them: Garden Swap Shop Seedy People UK Seed Swap Events 2010 Thanks Tracey

Loved the guide & the blog. I joined my local Horticultural Society (fiver a year) who do a bulk seed order towards the end of each year and I saved 50%.
