- There are two acres of our land sown under potatoes every year. The kind we set are, Skerries, Kerrpinks. The potato seed are cut in two or three. Ridges are made when potatoes are being set in new ground. When potatoes are ploughed out a person has to scobble the potatoes after the plough, which is to loosen them out of the earth. They are picked generally by young people and then they are put in pits, and after a few months they are and all the good ones put in pits and earthed.
