Enjoying the sights, sounds and smells of first-time parenthood. Progress on the vegetable garden and other ramblings of a gaijin in Japan’s least populous prefecture.

Feeling much more motivated than usual and with a little sun, I strode out into the garden. The first thing I wanted to do, was to try to route out whatever had been eating the onions. A close second was to improve upon the mizo, to try to prevent further flooding. I had a pretty good dig about for the elusive nekirimushi but to no avail. Replaced those that were half devoured and then set about digging another trench.
I am keen now for it to rain, just to see if it works. Hopefully all the runoff will collect around the asparagus. Thinned a few more feet of carrots, despite being unsure if it is sensible at this stage.
The highlight was checking on the spuds. The leaves are beginning to spot, so I thought it about time. I felt overwhelmingly happy at the sight of one red and one white potato. With that, I transplanted the remaining strawberry plants.
