I'm one short here and need help.
24ac: One growing in Patterson's garden that's found after sheet's turned back (6)

I have p?a?i?
Is it pratie?

[scooping]

prat i
Suppose prat is tarp (sheet, backwards) plus the i. Not a great cue if that's correct.

[JJ109]

pratie (potatoe) = tarp (sheet) backwards + ie (that's)

[aeronut]

I agree, but what's the connection to Patterson and his garden?

[geevo]

I think this may be the reference?
