    (continued from previous page)
    There is about half an acre of land sowed with potatoes in our garden each year. Some years there is a much better crop than others.
    The ploughman prepares the ground. The potatoes are usually sowed in drills. A plough is used to make the drills.
    Wooden ploughs were used in olden times in boggy land, and even still they are used in backward places. The spades are usually bought in a shop ready - made, they were formerly made in forges.
    Seed potatoes are cut
