  1. Potatoes

    Share Share Post
    (i) Long ago in the winter you would see the people coming from the sea-shore with a car full of sea-weed and then the men would spread it all over the land and leave it there until about March. Then the men would cover it over with the plough. Then the sea-weed was turned into manure. In April the people would get the plough and turn over the soil and then the men would go after the plough with their "práiscíns" with their seed potatoes in them and they putting them down.
