I am still working busily at my small farm. Planting seeds in the pots like tomatoes, broccholis and so forth. Taro fruits have been buried in the farm or near trees. Potatoes have successully budded. I am farming as much as with the principle of nature farming/regenerative farming. No chemicals, no plowing, no damages to the environment. In addition to rice bran, compost made of grass etc is used for fertilizer.
Honestly, sitting on the ground using a tiny chair itself is a burden for me. Neuralgia stings me badly on hip to lower legs. The joy doing with soil surpasses it, however. As told someone else, I often find myself transcendent to eternity while working on soil. The soil and plants are living in the phase of eternity. It may sound an exaggeration but a reality for me. Elderly often enjoys farming/gardening. I believe, even without finding or being conscious of themselves related with the flow of lives, they might be fascinated with working in nature in the same way.
Exercise itself in addition to contacts with living things in the farm works well for my psychological stability as well. Cutting weeds won't be a serious exercise. But I find myself sweating a lot doing it. The next vegetable I am going to plant is sweat potato. I was not very successful keeping them over the winter. I should manage it somehow.
Cherry trees along the street I drive for shopping were fully out today. A few people were taking photos with their smart phone. I forgot bringing the usual camera today. Here is a photo of my wife and beautiul cherry flowers taken at a facility near by. It was exactly 10 years ago. Needless to say time is flying.
I am a bit too lazy as a blogger. I would go out with my camera and take some photos of cherry flowers today or tomorrow.
