A Wild Thing said...: My ex-in laws raised sweet potatoes, what a lot of work hoeing each row by hand, then the wind rows and the sorting...argh, I was ecstatic when the job was finished, but then there was next year...cool shot!; 05 April, 2009 18:54
Martina said...: :-) - yes, it's backbreaking - but think of mashed potatoes, potato salad, boiled potatoes, potato pancakes, fried potatoes ... :-D *btw* the shot was taken this week on one of the first sunny warm days around here for this year.
As is your blog's motto: Spring we wait for thee ...; 05 April, 2009 19:37

That is the chicken said...: This is a great shot...I wondered who the people holding hands were and why they were in a field. I loved the earthy clour tones; 07 April, 2009 01:29
