Default Re: What's with Europeans and plowing?

On the farm where I grew up it was quite common to plow the garden site with a walk behind plow and several draft horses. We also had a horse drawn potato hiller.

To harvest the potatoes the row was turned over with the horse drawn plow and the spuds were picked and placed in burlap sacks. Needless to say we never bought potatoes!
