Potato Harvest 2026
毎年6月頃になると、私の祖母の家でじゃがいも掘りをします。
Every year around June, we go potato digging at my grandmother’s house.
私の叔母が1人でじゃがいもを植えて、育てて、収穫して、という作業をしているので、手伝える時には子供を連れて手伝いに行きます。
My aunt does all the work by herself — planting the potatoes, taking care of them, and harvesting them. So whenever we can, we take the kids with us and help her.
土に触れること、農業を少しでも理解することは、子供にとっても重要で勉強になると思っているからです。
I think it’s important for children to touch the soil and learn a little about farming. It’s a fun experience, but it’s also a great opportunity for them to learn where the food on our tables comes from. 🌱
March 15 — Planting the Seed Potatoes
穴を開けたところに、種芋をひとつずつ手で植えていきます。
We make holes in the soil and plant the seed potatoes one by one by hand.
深すぎず、浅すぎずというのがポイントで、これはプロの技です。
The key is to plant them neither too deep nor too shallow. Getting the depth just right is a skill that comes with experience — it’s a real professional technique! 👩🌾🥔
June 7 — Harvest Day
今年のできは……大きくて、虫などもつかず、たくさんついていて、良いそうです！
So, how did the potatoes turn out this year?
Apparently, they were big, plentiful, and almost completely free from insects. It sounds like we had a very good harvest this year!
綺麗な芋、青みがある芋に分けながら、機械で掘られた芋を仕分けします。
After the potatoes are dug up by a machine, we sort them by hand, separating the beautiful, healthy potatoes from the ones that have a greenish color.
