9.32 Our Farm

When I was a kid I drove a little tractor. I was hauling hay for the cow. I planted potatoes, too. You use your own hands to put the potato hole in the soil. We grew cabbage, carrots and round turnips. Sometimes we picked up rhubarb and made rhubarb pie. It was sour, not enough sugar. My dad had diabetes so he couldn’t have sugar, but diet sugar was okay. We put our potatoes, turnips and parsnips in the root cellar.
