I saw enough of my dad hoeing potato fields not to want to repeat it (so did he).Gordon Masonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13796375484099193959noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26319603.post-37721399041763867612009-05-22T11:37:20.962+01:002009-05-22T11:37:20.962+01:00You can come and work my potato field!

Then repeat for the second row, the third, the fourth, and so on. When you each the 40th and final row, you can hoe the half acre of carrots, onions and beets. After lunch, walk the 2.5 miles into town and then the same back again.<br /><br />I sometimes wonder just how far I walk on a typical day around the croft. But then I decide I'd really rather not know! :DStoneheadhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13203834429368828601noreply@blogger.com
