It was 21°C yesterday. With all this rain and sunshine I expect the weeds will get off to a good start this year. The asparagus bed is already ahead of the pack; full of rogue grasses that are already hopelessly intertwined with their hosts. The wind has been strong too, the first spring wind (haruichiban) has passed.

Apart from the odd flurry, there hasn’t really been any snow this winter. Quite at odds to other parts of the world, it again seems peculiar. I wonder if it will have any effect on the flavour of white leeks and daikon.

Snow capped Daisen
The start of the week brought snow. On the news yesterday, there were many marvellous scenes from around the country; vivid autumnal leaves contrasting snow. These in turn were marred by horrific road traffic accidents. It’s likely a good many drivers were caught out without snow tyres/chains. Although it’s probably a good month before the snow makes an impact here, I should take heed of the images.

I think the usual dance over obon was close to being called off. The weather was typical of the year’s summer. I took Kento and an umbrella, determined not to let the rain spoil the meet.
August rain

It is August and it is still raining. Although it seemed sure to rain back then, I should have sown the peanuts before our trip abroad. After giving them a water, peanuts want two weeks of dry weather once they go in the ground. I guess there will be typhoons now to watch out for.
No rain, rainy season

There’s plenty of pictures on the TV of the rain further south in the country. Up here the rainy season has already arrived, yet there is no rain. I was quite excited last night to hear the pitter-patter of rain. However, it turned out to be just a shower and the ground looked dry as a bone this morning.
We are going back to England tomorrow for two weeks. Continue reading
