Seedy Saturday

[thebitterguy]

The Toronto Community Garden Network is holding its annual Seedy Saturday seed sale!

Seedy Saturday is Toronto's BEST Eco Fair,
With Seed exchange, Heirloom seeds for sale, gardening workshops, and kids activities.
The Theme this year is POTATOES, to read a bit more about heirloom potatoes please click here
Seedy Saturday is the day when the new gardening season begins in earnest. You can have an opportunity to learn more about gardening, hone and share your gardening skills, and buy or exchange vegetable and flower seeds.

We are seeking to ensure that there is an ample supply of heritage and organic seeds available. There will be organic gardening supplies, soil amendments, tools and resources. Environmental organizations and community groups will have information tables on topics of interest to gardeners.

And, as always, there will be food and beverage stands to enhance the overall experience and atmosphere.

There's oodles of vendors there and they have loads of seeds, growing accessories and the food is at the very least interesting.

I'm sure the raccoons in my back yard will be very excited to try potatos this year.

This year, they're holding it in the Artscape Wychwood Barns on Christie Street.

anidada, if you're there I think I owe you a bag of seeds or two.

Potatoes yay! We grew potatoes in nexstarman's parents' yard last year. I think we got two potatoes that were as big as my shoes. They were incredibly tasty considering their size.

I want to grow potatoes here on the balcony this year in a bucket.

I'm gonna have to check out the instructions on potato growing.

I'll totally be there, though I'm not entirely sure on when, yet. Will try to post when I have an idea.

Re: potatoes: I'm growing them in our old garbage bins this year. :)

Cool. Hopefully I'll see you there.

It looks like the year for potatoes. Have you ever grown them before?
