from the soil so the potatoes have more room to
grow.This also stops the harvester collecting stones when it collects the potatoes later on.
As the destoner does its job, it makes long tunnels of soil. These are called beds.

Слайды и текст этой презентации
Слайд 6Preparing the ground
This is a destoner. It is removing stones
This also stops the harvester collecting stones when it collects the potatoes later on.
As the destoner does its job, it makes long tunnels of soil. These are called beds.
Слайд 7Chitting
These are potatoes (tubers).
They are left to sprout before they
are planted.
This is called chitting, and it helps the
tubers grow faster and produce a bigger crop.If they are not left to sprout they will grow slowly when they are planted.
Слайд 8Planting
Potatoes are usually planted in April into warm, loose soil.
The planter moves along the beds planting the potatoes in
rows. 
Слайд 9Growing
Here are the potato plants.
As they grow, the soil
is ‘earthed up’. This means it is pulled up around them
– a bit like a blanket.This protects them against frost and weeds and stops the potatoes going green.
Слайд 10Flowering
The potatoes plants have a small white or pink flower.
They also grow a small green tomato-like fruit that is
poisonous to eat.
Слайд 11Under the soil
By the middle of July, the first potatoes
are ready to be harvested.
They are called the first
earlies. In August the second earlies are harvested. Earlies are small potatoes often called ‘new’ potatoes.
The main crop are ready in September.
Слайд 13Harvesting
Here is the a harvesting machine. It lifts and
separates the potatoes from the soil.
Some of the harvested
potatoes will be eaten straight away but some will be stored and eaten later in the year.
