Potatoes are expensive and there are not many large sizes around - this is a problem according to Wilf Whittle from Sharrocks Fresh. "It is Mother's Day on Sunday in the UK and a lot of families will go out to eat. Strawberries are also under pressure and the Food Service guys are very busy."
He goes on to say that raspberries are also a bit hit and miss just now, but spring brings with it the first UK asparagus and Jersey Royals and rhubarb.
Spanish and Moroccan tomatoes will come to an end soon making way for the Dutch and then English production.
