  2. The Potato Crop

    Share Share Post
    We sow potatoes at home. We sow about two acres of potatoes. The names of the potatoes are Golden Wonders, Arn Banners, and Epicures. We usually sow them on stubble ground because it does be manured since the year before. My father and my uncle sow the potatoes. When they are going to sow them they grub the stubble ground and then plough it make drills and plant them and close the drills then
