Marcus’s dad was a potato farmer, so he’s always wanted to grow his own patch. He’s planted some, and now he wants some advice for how to harvest them. He meets local potato farmer Steve, who is doing something quite unusual – growing 33 varieties of potato on just 35 acres. He has a lot of advice for Marcus, who returns to his smallholding ready to tend to his own crop.\n\nAll this talk of potatoes has got Marcus thinking about one of his favourite pairings: potatoes and fish. He decides to go fishing and is excited to head out to the Kentish coastline to meet some local fishermen. A successful trip out to sea sees Marcus returning to his farm with some mackerel for dinner. After helping farmer Stuart feed his cattle, who are running out of grass due to the very dry weather, Marcus grills his mackerel and serves it with roasted potatoes for him and Stuart to enjoy.
