View from the veggie patch

What is green and sits in long rows?

No.  Not the House of Commons benches, but the potatoes growing in my veggie patch.

I've just pulled up the first of this year's potato crop.  Looking good.  In a hour or so, I'll know how they taste.

I have a feeling that in this part of Essex we could be heading for a bumper crop, not just for spuds, but looking at what I've seen on some local farms, fruit, too.
