While American kids are looking forward to graduation gifts of cars, clothes, electronics, or at least enough cash to buy same, kids in Finland are dancing in the streets because the new potatoes are in.
"The first Finnish new potatoes of the summer were lifted in Naantali’s Rymättylä on Tuesday morning.
Farmer Heikki Vainio, 63, of Röölä was already in full swing with potato harvesting at 9 o’clock in the morning."
"According to Vainio, the main thing is that the new potatoes are available in time for the school-leaving parties of the new upper secondary school graduates - the ones who will be receiving their white caps this year."
