In the field of Adachi-ku of Hisamatsu Police, which is held every year, elementary school students can experience potato digging (sweet potato digging in October) in June at the `` Hisamatsu Liaison Council, a bright city without delinquency, '' I was allowed to accompany you as a correspondent.
Sunday, June 11 The weather is fine and the harvest day. I feel like I'm excited. After meeting in front of Hisamatsu Police, the morning greeting was also "Good morning." It is a lively voice of a total of 25 people, including elementary school students, district committee members, town chairman, helpers of the town council, Hisamatsu staff members.
According to Hisamatsu Police Chief, "When the rain increases, when walking with an umbrella, the front becomes invisible and accidents are increasing." Cars are also getting harder to see because of the rain. Be careful of the car and look forward to walking! " It was a story about traffic safety during the rainy season, which is also familiar to children and seniors. He was a correspondent who wanted to keep his umbrella correct and be careful and spend a rainy day safely.
We finally got on a large bus and left at 9 o'clock. In the car, the topic of "I hope you can dig a lot of potatoes."
There were many anglers on the Musashino road "Shinmei Rokugi promenade" river, and I had no time to ask what I was fishing, so I rushed to the field.
Shortly after passing through the residential area, greenhouses and fields spread, and I was relieved of the peaceful scenery. The place where I got off the bus was Yashio City, Saitama Prefecture. When I crossed the river, there was a notation of Roppongi, Adachi-ku.
Arrived in the field. I changed into boots and started digging with work gloves. It is said that we planted seed potatoes in March, but when we started digging and pulled out the branches and leaves of the potatoes, large potatoes came out around. Small cute potatoes are also dug firmly and harvested. The basket was full of potatoes and many boxes, and a happy scream was raised. At the end, dig up the soil with a large scoop and make sure that everyone does not leave potatoes.
Finally, the size of the potatoes was sorted and the number of participants was evenly divided. I was delighted that it was a great harvest than last year.
I got on the bus with a souvenir potato bag. Today, the return bus is lively with the topic of what kind of food to eat with potatoes. We arrived at Hisamatsu Police Station at 11:00. A police said, "We look forward to the participation of more children than this time in the sweet potato digging in October." It seems that there are many people who don't even know that there is such a fun harvest experience. I hope that many children from the Nihonbashi area will participate in the sweet potato digging in October, where you can experience such a soil. Of course, I would like to participate again. With potatoes, they arrived on their way home while feeling the joy of harvesting. One bag was 2.2kg when I got home. Mr. Hoshino, a farmer, gave me a cute mini radish, so I immediately had the radish at home while fresh. As a salad, I didn't have a crunchy texture. The most happy thing was that I was most happy to be able to enjoy the harvest experience that adults could return to their childhood. I thank Mr. Hoshino, a farmer who took care of and raised the potatoes, and after a long time I felt the happiness of enjoying the freshly harvested potatoes.
