June 10, 2019: Potato Planting, Peru

 

At the end of a tiring hike in Peru's Sacred Valley (of the Incas), we came across some people planting potatoes.

Done the old-fashioned way, the field is plowed with oxen, then the seed potatoes are planted by hand and covered with dirt.  The crop is usually planted in Sept - Oct, and harvested about a half year later.
