Planting Potatoes

When I was a boy, we had several gardens around our old house. The largest one of all was used just for growing potatoes.

I can still remember those potato planting days. All the family 31________ helped. After my Dad had 32________ the soil, my Mom, brothers, and I went to work. It was my 33________ to drop the little seed potatoes in the 34________ while my Mom dropped handfuls of fertilizers beside them. My brothers then covered them all with the 35________ turned earth.

For months 36 ________ I would glance over at the garden while I played outside and wonder what was going on underneath the 37________. When the harvest time came I was amazed at the huge size of the potatoes my Dad 38________ out of the soil. Those little seed potatoes had grown into big potatoes. They would be turned into meal after meal of 39________ food. They would keep the 40________ family well fed throughout the whole year. It truly was a miracle.
