Tesco has received the first supplies of new-season Jersey Royals from its depots in Harlow, Didcot and Southampton.
The first liftings come from Jersey’s cotils - the sea-facing slopes, which benefit from warm breezes, enabling them to produce earlier crops than the main inland fields.
Some cotils are so steep that pickers have to be let down on ropes to gather in the crop.
