It being the Year of the Potato, Junior Minister Trevor Sargent came to The Organic Centre today to talk at the annual Potato Day. There was an impromptu Q&A about GM at the end, mainly about use of oils in food service and (lack of) traceability and honest labelling. Anyway, St Patrick's Day is, of course, the best day for planting potatoes. No idea if that is tomorrow, technically, or yesterday, since Paddy's Day has been moved this year to avoid clashing with Easter Week (no, really) - it's the first time this has happened since the 1940's apparently. No photos of potatoes today, but as Melvin looked stunning on the way home, here it is, as it was then.
