After passing his Chiploma, Spud succeeded in doing very well in his Bat-tubers degree and went on to do a Mashters. Having done so well, he was awarded a Scallop-chip for a Potatorate and was awarded a Professorchip.
See the pictures below.
















!!!!!News flash!!!!! SOGS have been offered some CAROLUS seed potatoes.
They are virtually blight proof, have a good flavour, they are white with red eyes which makes them
good looking, they are a good cropper and have
good drought resistance.
Apart from providing a lot of your favourite varieties every year we try to make Potato Day a bit different. For this year we decided that to brighten a winter day in February it would be good to add some colour.
SO:- we have sourced a few coloured varieties, including ones that keep their colour when cooked. The rest will be up to your imagination but you could create some "fun" meals with say red, white and blue mash for the kids with more subtle use for meals for you and your guests.--- so give them a go and be different !!!!

Thank you all.

We are a group of enthusiastic organic gardeners and small holders who meet once a month for talks, visits and outings. We are affiliated to Garden Organic.
Between November and April we meet at St Chad's Church Hall, Town
Walls, Shrewsbury 7.30pm on the first Wednesday of the month, for a talk
related to organic gardening, followed by tea and biscuits. In the
Summer months (it lasts from May to October in Shropshire - honest!) we
go usually on a Sunday to members gardens and small holdings.
We have a coach outing usually to somewhere of importance. In 2014 we went to Arley Arboretum. The coach fare is paid for by the group as a thankyou to the hard working members.
The group has a library of organic gardening related books for members to borrow.
Find us on twitter @ShropsG



The group also has a stall at the Shrewsbury Flower Show, where you can come along and learn about organic gardening and meet existing members.
Membership is £8.00 single or £10.00 couple per year. Visitors are very welcome to come to an individual meeting at £1.00.
