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

Satsumaimo check

I’ve been expecting a meagre harvest of sweet potatoes in November. They were planted in a rush and pretty much left to it. Today I thought I’d have a quick peek and see what’s going on. It would appear there is a promising supply of baby food.
A reasonable sized sweet potato costs about ¥200 (£1), so I’m well chuffed with this.

Following on from the previous entry, I haven’t seen any slugs since I put down the eggshells. I have overlooked things that fly, namely butterflies. I suspect the caterpillars I found today had caused most of the damage to date.
So I charged my new carrot shaped hand sprayer with milk and gave them a good dousing. I hope it will work?
