Farm and a scout

Nowadays, it's like early summer in the daytime while it gets quite cool early in the morning. Preparing seedlings and farm, I am mowing lawn and pulling/cutting weeds. A lot of work at the same time. It will last until fall. 

The compost made from residue of vegetables and pulled weeds last year is working fine to grow various seedlings. I knew the poor temperature control has caused failure to grow seedlings indoor in this spring. Still learning a lot from this tiny farming. 

Green pea is flowering. Some peas are being harvested and become material for salad.


It seems potatoes are also successful this spring. Three kinds of seed potatoes were planted. All are growing well. It is surprising that even old wrinkled ones, which had been over 1 year old and not seemed edible, are growing. They have vigorously budded. It seemed they were trying to leave offspring by any means. 


Strawberries are growing without any care. Of course, the weeds among them are sometimes pulled off. They are still bearing fruits.


Such fruits as the strawberries or vegetables could be eaten by birds. These days, birds won't visit our garden farm so often as before. This reconnaissance scout named Hikaru might prevent them from approaching here. He often comes around to me while I work outdoor. He won't help me working in the farm but patiently wait for me to come inside home.


My brother and his wife will visit here and go to the grave of our parents tomorrow. I will prepare rice and curry for the lunch for them. Another fun reunion.
