[No. 193] The Three Potato Brothers: Winter Field All-Stars ๐ฑ๐ฅ
Today, January 3, 2026
, is the first field visit of 2026.
From the number "3," I naturally thought of
potatoes, Jerusalem artichokes, and nagaimo yams. These are the three potato brothers dug up from the winter soil.
It is not a flashy harvest.
However, there is a definite meaning to what remained in the field through the changing seasons.
The 2026 field season began quietly
with these three brothers.
๐ Articles themed around the field are collected in a magazine.

The Joy of Harvest ๐ฑ๐ฅ
The winter field does not assert itself.
There are no leaves or flowers, and the soil is quiet.
That is precisely why
the tactile response at the moment of digging is conveyed directly.
Well-formed potatoes
Jerusalem artichokes that show their unique personalities
Nagaimo yams that have deeply embraced the soil
The same field, the same soil.
Yet, their appearance changes with the seasons.
The harvest is a result, and at the same time,
the answer to the time spent tilling.
The colors of the field change with the seasons, but the soil remains the same ๐ ๐
The autumn field was lively.
It had color, volume, and energy.
๐ [No. 156] Autumn Harvest All-Stars ๐พ๐
Though their shapes and colors differ, they are all protagonists that speak of "autumn."
On the other hand, this winter harvest is quiet.
Until you dig them up, you don't even know they are there.
However,
even if the seasons change, the soil does not.
The same field, the same soil,
shows us the harvest in autumn and the reserves in winter.
The field always responds in its own way at any given time.

A field that begins with gratitude 2026 ๐๐ฑ
The 2026 field has begun to stir quietly.
Gratitude for the soil,
gratitude for the growth of the crops,
and gratitude for the time it took to grow this far.
This year, too, I will receive them deliciously and with gratitude.
