- During the summer the potatoes are moulded and sprayed. They are raised with a plough, potato-digger or spade. The person who digs the potatoes gathers them. They are gathered into a bucket, and are stored in a barn or in pits in the field.
Arran Banners, Lumpers, Irish Queens, Kerrs' Pinks are the principal varieties sown. Proverbs
If you go into the Court, leave your soul behind you.
Don't say grace for your meat till you have got it
Don't show your teeth until you can bite.
Clever people often miss their mark
New kings, new laws
One fall never cowed a soldier.
Time brings changes.
