I rented one more field today. I’m going to make two long rows so I don’t waste the space.

I will continue raising seedlings in staggered timings. View quoted note →

These are spinach seedlings. The seeds I sowed in the field did not sprout because of the cold, but they are growing indoors. 22 December

I grew sanchu in a miso pot and a 2-liter PET bottle. I wanted to observe how long the roots would grow. The sanchu in the miso pot grew longer than the one in the PET bottle, but its stems were thinner. I found one sanchu with yellowing leaves, probably due to the cold or a lack of nutrients. I replanted it in a hydroponic system. It was very small and fit inside a tomato can. The roots were white, long, and strong. Now it is growing freely in the water.

After coming home from the field, I planted broccoli seeds. Usually, February is the suitable time, but I am trying to grow vegetables in different seasons, by using field and indoors. Winter but wa rms.

I know now. Power work is only when I hoe the field. After that, observation, adding nutrition and prevention of bugs. View quoted note →

It was hard work for me, and I got sore muscles every day. So I thought gardening on the balcony would be easier than in a field, since planters aren’t heavy. It was hard to bring soil from the home center to the balcony, but using a rental field made it easier. I was able to bring a small amount of soil to sow seeds in pots on the balcony. At the same time, I discovered hydroponics through some books. View quoted note →
