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.

Typhoon Faxai

Filed under: garden, weather — adekun @ 4:03 pm

The latest typhoon has brought heavy rain to Honshū. It’s passing south of Tokyo at the moment. The brassicas have taken a weathering as the gusts have been strong.
I took a photo a few days prior on what was a nice day. From the left:

    Garlic
    Sweet Potatoes
    Hakusai, Cabbages, Broccoli
    Spinach
    Carrots
    Beetroot
    Mizuna
    Potatoes (jumble of oddments in front)
    Asparagus at the back

  2. Will you be able to grow potatoes all through the winter? What do you do to protect them, if anything?

  3. Your garden looks like it survived!

  4. I think it fared better than me.
    Here’s a link Cynthia to a previous post: http://blog.adekun.com/2006/12/new-year-spuds.
    Since the snow has been fairly light, it seems possible to get a few spuds over the winter. I dug some trenches for the snow, although what fell pretty much finished the haulms. Maybe some experiments (and luck) will give a bigger yield.
