Last weekend was our local Potato Day so we went along to see what was on offer. I was't after much really as I ordered my seed potatoes, onion sets and peas through the Allotment Association in November and my order was delivered the allotment about a fortnight ago and are chitting away nicely on to of our wardrobes.
So I thought I'd go along to the Potato Day shop and just pick up a few seed potatoes that I'm thinking of growing next year, I just to try a few first before ordering a bag full next year Unfortunately there wasn't any Yetholm Gypsy or Amorosa but I come away with half a dozen Vanessa (a red first early) and half a dozen Maris Piper (maincrop) seed potatoes I also picked up a small bag of Red Onion sets as well as
a Bulb Garlic (Solent Wight) which kinda brings my to the point of this
post.
Today I got one of my blow-a-way plastic greenhouses out of hibernation
( if you've ever had a plastic greenhouse you know why they get called blow-a-ways).
I've put a fleece cover on first and its plastic cover over
that like so

Like the tying to the fence. We have to do the same otherwise it's like Judy in the Wizard of Oz!
