Hi James and thanks for the tip – I’d probably get into a lot less hot water doing things that way :)

Another option to save your blushes of bringing potatoes back into Ireland yourself would be to just buy them online from someone like JBA (http://www.jbaseedpotatoes.co.uk) (they'd probably even wrap them in plain packaging to save you getting abuse from the delivery man!)

OysterCulture: I’d imagine that there’s a fairly similar range of spuds available at the various potato days, though I don’t know that for sure – further investigation required… As for the airport, thankfully there were no full body scans involved, or I would have had a lot of explaining to do!

Natasha: oh I hope they grow too – fingers crossed :)

Oh what fun – I’d have no idea what I was looking for, and I assume they explain the different varieties but to be able to see them all collectively, had to be great. I wonder if there is a significant difference in the types they showcase at each show.

I can only assume that the good Dublin airport does not yet have full body scans to allow you to have 9 spuds on your person. That would have raised eyebrows for sure!

sarah: Seeing as I have already incriminated myself, I may as well admit that the purpose is indeed to plant these seeds and watch them grow, though there is a long way between here and harvest and a lot can happen, so stay tuned. And I hope you get to grow some more spuds this year yourself – it really is a most satisfying endeavour!

Jenni: It would be worth getting thrown in the slammer just to have a Jenni Cake arrive containing a bona fide file. I think your Van Halen Pound Cake (cleverly rebranded as the Van Halen Jailbreak Cake ™) would do the trick nicely. And I am with you on the butter thing, of course, but you knew that already!

sippitysup: I’m working on it Greg, it may take me a few months, but you’ll get your spuds in some shape or form, promise :)

Phoo-D: aw thanks, very sweet of you to say so – and I will be sure to report on progress with the seeds throughout the year

Nut: very glad to have you along, hope you continue to enjoy!

Tangled Noodle: yes, the villain is unmasked, but I do promise to make reparations by providing full follow-on reporting, ma’am :)

sweetlife: I certainly hope that it will all be worth it!
