Planting Potatoes
When I was a boy we had several gardens around our house. The largest one of all was used just for growing potatoes.
I can still remember those potatoes planting days. All the family __1__ helped. After my dad had __2__ the soil, my Mom, brothers, and I went to work. It was my __3__ to drop the little seed potatoes in the __4__ while my mom dropped handfuls of fertilizer beside them. My brothers then covered them all with the __5__turned earth.
For months __6__ I would glance over at the garden while I played outside and wonder what was going on underneath the __7__. When the harvest time came I was amazed at the huge size of the potatoes my Dad __8__ out of the soil. They would be turned into meal after meal of __9__ food. They would keep the __10__ family well fed throughout the whole year. It truly was a miracle.
