- We have only a small garden at the back of my home in which we put potatoes. My grandfather prepares the ground but sometimes another man does it for him with a plough. The spades used here are bought in the shops. Many people help each other by ploughing for them or setting the potatoes. When the weeds grow in the garden the people pull them because the weeds would choke the stalk. We have another garden for other vegetables such as; cabbage, rhubarb, turnips, parsnips.
