    Bord Bia have announced that potatoe sales are way down and the Irish need to be taught how to cook them better! This has probably cost them thousands in research! They seem to think we are eating and buying more pasta and rice. HELLO, has it not occurred to them that that WE ARE GROWING OUR OWN SPUDS. grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr:confused:

    i've been getting a decent crop this year, even with a bit of blight. Haven't bought potatoes in the shops half as much as normal tbh. haven't bought carrots, onions, cabbage or broccoli either when i think about it

    Last year when we told people we were growing our owns spuds we got laughed out of it for wasting our time on something that can be bought so cheap. Those same people growing them this year!

    I got 10 free seed potatoes this year from a friend of mine who has an allottment, we got 55 spuds from the 9 plants that survived. Haven't bought spuds in about a month :)
