Spuds in Buckets 2009
14 March - 12 September
OVER 100 PEOPLE of all ages took part in the first village "Spuds in
Buckets" competition last year. The winner of the adult section - Andy
Pumfrey - grew 2.782kg of potatoes from a single seed potato in his bucket, and
Rhiannon Jordan took the children's prize with 0.368kg of potatoes.
Successful growers got to keep and eat their delicious potatoes, and the
winners got a full Sunday roast or Saturday night supper to go with their
spuds.
By popular demand we are running this competition again starting on Saturday 14 March. For a payment of just £5 a family or individual or group (Cubs, Youth Club?) will receive a bucket and seed potatoes. Can you beat Andy's yield? Will the weather be kinder to us this year? Can you grow more potatoes than your neighbours? Will children do better than their parents?
Don't miss out on Swaffham Prior's great spud growing challenge! All proceeds go to the Maryloo Project, to provide toilet facilities for St Mary's Church.
