Hagg Lane allotments: potatoes, seeds and coffee morning for would-be growers

Hagg Lane Allotment Society is holding an open morning on Sunday 31 January to celebrate the new growing season and the arrival of this year’s seed potatoes.

Coffee and cake will be available between 9.30am and 12.30pm, and more than 20 different varieties of potatoes will be available from £1 a bag.

Potatoes can be grown in containers on a sunny patio and new potatoes can be ready to harvest from 10 weeks after planting, weather conditions permitting.

The Allotment Society Hut, on Back Lane, also stocks vegetable and flower seeds, compost and other gardening products, and is now open on both Saturday and Sunday mornings, from 9.30am.
