On Saturday, March 3th, tea seedlings were planted at De Rot's cultivated field Udera (Ohira).This is because 14 of the 1600 plants planted last year died due to salt damage from the typhoon.
About 40 people cooperated with the volunteers of Udera, the staff of Nagasaki City, Nagasaki Prefecture, the volunteer members of Fermud Sotome, and the sisters.Under the guidance of Mr. N, who teaches tea in Nagasaki Prefecture, (20) make holes with an instrument or shovel, (900) plant seedlings to hold down the soil tightly, (2) cover the roots with anti-drying chips, and (XNUMX) water. ⑤ A series of XNUMX seedlings, which were cut into XNUMX cm pieces, was completed in about XNUMX hours.I was very relieved to see the fields where the seedlings were lined up in an orderly manner.
Due to the effects of the new pneumonia, the two companies that offered to cooperate could not participate in the headquarters directive, and with the companies who were very disappointed, I was worried about what would happen, so the reinforcements were more than expected. Thank you for the good weather.Thank you everyone, God.

Face the tea plantation
Construction work for repairing and preserving masonry at the Ohira Works site has started. In the end, the roof will be hung, so you can remember the time when De Ro was built, but you will soon be unable to see the ruins.
After completion, we will maintain the interior so that green tea and black tea can be made. We are planning. Please help! Please also see the ruined workshop.
A break space on the macaroni factory site!

Henbit is already blooming
The desk and the chair are by Mr. Tadashi of driftwood.
Put the fire in the wood stove ... and have some tea!
It was a lonely month when the tourist season was off.However, because it is quiet, there is a lot of work to be done, such as organizing the fields and processing oranges for peeling, so I have not yet organized the area around the desk.
By the way, the idea of creating a resting space came to me from the beginning of winter, and yes, at the macaroni factory site!I thought that it would be possible for everyone to come and ask Mr. Tazaki, who works with driftwood, to make a table.He immediately attached it to the bench and carried it to me, creating a wonderful resting space.If you put a fire in the wood stove, the atmosphere will be even better.
Hot water is also available.Please use it!
Cultural property fire prevention day training

Last tale
On Sunday, January 1, training for Cultural Property Fire Prevention Day was held at the Rescue Center.
Under the direction of the Nagasaki Kita Fire Department, the training is a gathering of people from the Konoura Station, Mie Station, and the local fire brigade.There is a feeling of tension when several fire engines and ambulances are lined up.There was a snappy training, such as extending a hose from a nearby water tank or fire engine and actually discharging water.
Since the disappearance of World Heritage Sites continued last year, training is also full of lessons.We were only present, but vowed not to start a fire.
After the end, the officers and members confirmed the water discharge gun. It seems to be interesting because the three water discharge guns are installed and are not seen on a daily basis.
Wild boar in tea plantation!

A month is about to pass without greeting the New Year.
I look forward to working with you again this year.
Early in the new year, it is swayed by wild boars.Even though it's a mild winter, the area around the tea plantation is being dug up, perhaps because of problems with food.I was around when I discovered it, but gradually I started digging up the seedlings, and I'm wondering what happened.
The tea saplings were growing well, but this time the wild boar was disappointed because more than half of them died due to salt damage caused by the typhoon last fall.When I was in a hurry to buy an electric fence, some people asked me to get rid of wild boars, some advised me how to deal with the city hall, and some people asked me to help with the installation. I received a favor and decided to wait for a while.
I am relieved to arrange for tea saplings to come in March.The planting work is likely to be busy.
From the bush, camellias and florets are also watching over and encouraging.
