  2. The Potato Crop

    Share Share Post
    potatoes are grown every year at home. We sow about an acre every year. My father and brothers prepares the ground. They plough it first and then they harrow it, and grub it. We pick out the best potatoes for seed and we cut them and when we have them ready to plant. He opens the drills and then he put in the dung and plants them.
