How does one relate period's in ones life time or period's in history

I have just remembered another thing about new potatoes and that is

with compost and keep it in his greenhouse and eventualy the plants

Ah yes, Jersey Royals -- Delicious (as long as they are good and
young; as more mature potatoes they can't compete with some of the
others )

Some of the most delicious potatoes we've ever tasted were the result

I had thought that old meant old crop from previous growing season and
new meaning crop from this year. I know they store potatoes over the

New potatoes are the ones that you dig shortly after the flowers have
died off and the skins are thin and can be rubbed off or scraped. Old
potatoes are thick skinned and require peeling. Any potatoes that are
exposed to light above ground when growing will turn green and become
poisonous and should be discarded,likewise the seed pods following the
