The rocks in this soil are no joke.

Day 1 in the dirt and it already feels like a good season.
Dropping 200 Dark Norland Reds and 200 Adirondack Blues into the ground today. Soil turned over just right, and that quiet kind of excitement you only get at the start of something.
There’s something about planting potatoes that hits different. You’re literally burying potential and trusting it’s gonna come back stronger, bigger, better. Kind of like all of us after a long winter.
Give it time… these are gonna be beautiful.
