  1. We grow potatoes in our garden. The amount varies. Some years we set two roods and other years we set one rood.
    Our potatoes are grown in ridges. My father prepares the ground. The ground is first scored with a plough. There is a space of three feet between each score this space is called a ridge then there is a space of eighteen inches between each ridge and this space is called a furrow.
