On Saturday 21st March it's the Spring Equinox and time to plant our first crops of the year. At the moment when our journey around the sun and our tilted planet give us 12 hours of night and 12 hours of day we will be entrusting our first 12 potatoes to the soil. 6 Charlottes and 6 Pentland Javelins a few prayers and some singing and dancing and then we wait. In 13 weeks (another quarter of a circuit - and hopefully right on the Summer Solstice) we may be eating our first spud feast.
If you'd like to join us on Saturday, and are prepared to get your hands dirty, email me johnty7@hotmail.com
