Planting Potatoes
The other night we were watching a BBC series called "Foyle's War", which takes place in England during WWII. In one scene, they were on a farm where people were planting potatoes. They had plowed the field with a newly acquired tractor into long, parallel ridges, about 2 feet high and 3 feet apart, and were planting the seed potatoes along the tops of the ridges. I guess the plan was that the plants would put down roots into the ridges and produce tubers down there. If I had a wet field I might do it this way. |
