The Magic Faraway Garden

Here are two of the photos I picked up yesterday. In spite of being particularly fond of the surroundings, I’m itching to get back and check up on things. It’s not just to quell the urge to nurture or because the potatoes need earthing up. There is something enchanting about growing things. Something that turned the tedium of garden centres into attraction.
Some tomatoes taking shape and a pepper just in shot. Plenty of foliage on the ground, replacing the momigara.
Potatoes that need attention.
Cucumbers are also forming and an aubergine has already reached the ground.

Everything seems to be growing so quickly. Has it been much warmer in Japan than in the UK?
Hope you are enjoying your trip

I don’t think it has been especially warm in Japan. So I’m very surprised and pleased at the progress - also the rainy season seems to have arrived. Sadly here too
We are having a nice time anyway.

Last year I took the family off to Maine to visit the wife’s relations just as the garden was really starting to crank. That was one of the hardest trips I ever made, but I couldn’t exactly ask them to reschedule the memorial service. At least you’ve got eomeone to send you pictures of yours!

I’ll be careful here and just mention they have even pulled my onions. I’ll post some more pictures soon…
