  1. The Care of Potatoes

    Share Share Post
    People must be careful to keep the potatoes free of weeds.
    The manure is cows manure and shop manure.
    The spray is made of bluestone and line and hot water.
    The potatoes are dug in autumn and put into pits.
    Potatoe pits are made in the ground, by digging a hole in the ground and making each side of it hard with scraws.
    The potatoes are covered in the pits with scraws and claws.
    The names of potatoes that grow in this district are champions, lerpinks, Aran Victory and Irish Queens.
