Matron grows vegetables and fruit in a Hampshire garden. I've been growing veggies since I was knee high to a grasshopper. Some traditional varieties and old favourites as well as new ideas. I share my garden with my allotment assistant Daisy the Labrador. On Twitter as @MatronsVeggies
Apparently these take a minimum of 4 months to produce tubers. I planted the rooted cuttings in mid June, after the soil had been well heated up under black plastic. They are trailing all over the ground and slightly resemble ivy. Today whilst watering I noticed a wonderful pink tuber just poking out from the surface of the soil it was about 2 inches thick and 4 inches long - my first sweet potato! Hooray!

I was born 20 yards from our allotment. My parents used to 'dig for victory' and never got out of the habit. I grew up on an allotment, so growing veggies is a way of life. I am also qualified as a dog behaviourist and I have set up my own business, www.blackdogdna.com
