  1. My Father's Farm

    Share Share Post
    There is a field on my father's farm known as the "turnip garden"
    The garden is alongside the land that runs from the Caulfield road to the Laragh road.
    It got this name because some years ago this garden was all planted with turnips.
    There is another field known as the "broom field".
    This field is alongside the river that flows from McGovern's bog to Knockthudar
    It got this name because a broom tree used to grow in it
    There is another field on my father's farm
