Herefordshire - Potato Country!

The local potato farmer, Ian, has 2,000 acres, some of which is adjacent to the garden. At the weekend the tractors arrived on mass for the planting of this year's crop.

This picture is taken from our garden looking south-west across the recently planted fields. There are two old oaks that really stand out now.



There were five tractors in total that spent the whole day on the one field.

Boxes upon boxes of seed potatoes arrived before loading onto the back of the tractors.

With all this planting going on, my grandson and I watered our vegetable patch. We have potatoes in here too!!
