SPUD IN A BUCKET 2022

The ever popular ‘Weigh-in’ Social will again be in the garden of the Jolly Cricketers,
4.30 - 5.30pm on Sunday 11th September 2022. 
The range of weights last year ranged from 78g to over 4kg with 37 entries
Let's see how we all do this year!

It's time to prepare your spud for the Big Day!
It's  been a tough summer for spuds in buckets, but however dismal yours looks, please bring it along for weighing at this fun event. You could be pleasantly surprised!

Some important tips for THIS WEEK

• Your spud may appear to be completely dead, but this is unlikely - just give it a chance at the weigh-in!
• Stop watering right away - this will make your bucket easier to carry and for the SGG team to empty cleanly - we really don’t want a lot of mud to deal with!
• Cut any remaining foliage from the plant 

On Sunday 11th ...

• Mark your bucket CLEARLY with your name.
  
  
• Bring it to the Jolly Cricketers between 3.30 and 4.30pm. Weighing normally takes an hour or so. Winner's presentation will be around 5.30 pm
  
  
• Register your entry with one of the Gardeners' team (look out for the green sashes!) so we know we've got your bucket.
  
  
• While the registration and weighing takes place, relax with a drink and take part in the sweepstake to guess the winning weight of potatoes, £1 a guess (cash only). The proceeds will go to One Can Trust - the local foodbank.
  
  
• If you'd like to donate some (or all)  of your spuds to One Can, we will have a collection point waiting to be filled!
  
  
• If you can’t make it yourself on the 11th, maybe a friend would be happy to bring it along and enjoy this ever-popular village event

​LOOKING FORWARD TO SEEING YOU THERE!
Good luck from the Seer Green Gardeners' team
