Zwische em Hawwer un em Welschkann hen mir die Grumbiere geblanst. Hett dihr schunn Grumbiere eigeblugt? Mer hot en Faricht geblugt. No hot mer die Grumbiere eigelegt. No hot mer ebaut drei Farichde geblugt, no widder eigelegt. Sell hot als aardlich gut gschafft, abaddich wu mer dicker Waasem nunnergeblugt hot. Sometimes in the spring folks had already sown the oats by the middle of April. Then they plowed their remaining sod. In May then they planted the field corn. Between the oats and the field corn we planted the potatoes. Have you all ever plowed potatoes in? You plowed a furrow. Then you laid in the potatoes. Then you plowed about three furrows, then laid them in again. That used to work real well, especially where you had plowed under thick sod.
