Potato Pickin

Farming comes in many forms, and not least is the harvesting of potato's in the hot, hot sun. After preparing the ground, fertilising, turning the soil over, fertilising, getting the seeds, planting, weeding, watering, fertilising etc etc, it's finally time to get them out of the ground before they rot!    What a job. Not for the faint hearted.

      A wonderful view of Jonathan and Pa, working down the rows

 ...and probably trying to outdo each other

 Dids on the thingummywhatzit rolling them out ...

 ..as he turns the corner smoothly and with such incredible skill...

 ..so that the lesser mortals are able to do the backbreaking task of sorting and picking them up

 whilst he runs back up another row,

 and we continue to collect.

 You okay there Lads (and Lassies)

 We're coming along just fine thank you

...and Jonathan is proving to Pa that my potato is bigger than yours!
