Hi @DiyarBakirwahab The pictures are very beautiful. I know that it is very difficult to grow potatoes in 40 degree temperature. The most potato producing district in Bangladesh is my own district, Munshiganj, where potato is the main agriculture. So I am a bit impressed by your post. Thanks for sharing a great article and picture with us,

Some pictures found on the net about our potato cultivation.
