  1. Folklore - The Potato Crop

    Share Share Post
    The potatoes are sown in drills. The people put in the drills with a drill plough. They buy their spades in the shops. The people in my district have not much potatoes. Some of them have an acre. There is a wooden plough in the townland of Drumgoon Killeshandra. It is a two donkey plough. The owner is Mr Thomas Mac Dermott. The name of the potatoes gown in my district are pinks, Aran banners and epicures.
