Potatoes are one of the easiest crops to grow but the ground needs a lot of work. Soil has to be turned, potatoes have to be cut into small pieces and hand irrigated by pouring water down the rows. When I was growing up in Inner Mongolia I used to help my Father plant and care for the potatoes every year.
Because I often go mountain climbing I have become acquainted with a few beekeepers. I think they have a great job, because they get to live in beautiful places where many flowers grow. They are mostly very healthy people.
In the summertime we can take visitors to meet some of these Potato farmers and Beekeepers in their busy and productive season. I have found that working with such healthy life; in the rich soil and with the bees is a beautiful life style in some of the more rural and picturesque places in China
