    Sowing Potatoes
    Some people when they are sowing potatoes they pick out certain days .They usually sow them on Tuesdays and Fridays because they say that they sow them any other day they would not have a good crop that year.
    Palm Sunday they get palm and put a piece of it in the four corners of their potato garden. They say if palm is put in a garden that garden will not be burned with frost or no blight will come in it.
