from Farm Work for the Year
October
Arable Farm (contd):
Potatoes may be harvested in October, either by the plough or spade, and sold as they are dug, or pitted in long, narrow heaps on dry ground, which can afterwards be thatched and covered with earth. Stubble ploughing is October work, and, if clean, those fields may be manured before ploughing which are to receive spring beans, early peas, carrots, and parsnips, and mangels.
