Tara.F Posted January 2, 2011 Share Posted January 2, 2011 Thanks for this....I was just planning to go in search of dates! looks like the London one has changed venue though, which would be an awful shame Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lesley Posted January 2, 2011 Share Posted January 2, 2011 Thanks for the reminder - we may make it to Ryton this year now that i can walk better - too many people for me over the last few years. Do you know how much per tuber they are this year? - I had a Thompson and Morgan email about theirs and would like to see how they compare.

chickencam Posted January 4, 2011 Share Posted January 4, 2011 We usually go to the Dundry one, but sometimes we sneak in a couple of days before and buy most of what we need then just add a few tubers of untried varieties on the day.
