- In Spring the farmers set the potatoes. First they plough the land in which they are going to set the potatoes with an iron plough. While the farmer is ploughing an other man is cutting the potatoes into slits. Then the farmers dip the slits into lime. One man digs a little hole and the other man throws a potatoes into it, then they cover it with manure.Caitlín Ní hEalaigh
