Harvesting New Potatoes/新じゃがの収穫

I have already talked about shin jaga (new potatoes) here, so I will be brief.
新じゃがについてはここですでに述べているので、簡潔にします。

At around noon yesterday, I went to my rented field just to see how the potatoes and the sweet potatoes were growing. When it comes to vegetable growing, I'm one of the laziest, vising my field only once a week, and I can leave it unattended for almost two weeks when I'm busy with work.
昨日の昼頃、じゃがいも(ジャガイモ、馬鈴薯(「ばれいしょ」とも)とさつまいも(サツマイモ、薩摩芋)の育ち具合を見に、借りている畑に行きました。野菜作りに関しては、私はとてもルーズで、一週間に一回くらいしか見に行かないし、仕事が忙しい時は2週間近くもほっておくことがあります。
I was surprised to see that some potatoes were visible. Some leaves were turning yellow. It was obvious that I had to harvest the potatoes.
じゃがいもがいくつか見えているので驚きました。葉も黄色くなってきており、もうじゃがいもを収穫すべきなのは明らかでした。

I got this amount of potatoes from 3-kg seed potatoes!
種芋3キロからじゃがいもがこれだけ採れました! 
I'm going to make hash browns and potato salad.
ハッシュポテトとポテトサラダを作るつもりです。

You are blessed to live in the middle of a farm and collect the vegetables right from the spot. Fresh and green.
