The potato harvest was small.

2024-11-12

How are you? It's gotten cold. We dug up potatoes in the cool weather, but they were so small that I felt bad for the other participants.

We asked everyone to take home as much as they dug, but I think the weevils ate more than they did. I'm sorry. We tried to take all possible measures, such as setting up pest control devices and putting up electric fences, but it seems that my wisdom was not as good as the pests. We look forward to seeing you next year with fat potatoes like the year before last.

I couldn't upload the image this time, so I just commented. I'm sorry. Until next time, see you later.

The end of the rainy season and the height of summer

2024-07-25

The apple tree we planted in Ohira has small fruits.

A lot of "Santaro" berries were produced. They were delicious.

Cosmos flowers bloomed during the rainy season. There were even mushrooms growing nearby.

After a period of heavy rain, I came across a beautiful sawah.

On the way home from work in Ohira. The sky after the rainy season is really beautiful.

This is a scene from a meeting with the support team for "Walking Through the Museum with Mr. de Rotz."

We've all been through a tough long rainy season, but how are you all doing?

I haven't updated my blog for a long time. Sorry. Summer is finally here. But it's hot.

Surrounded by nature... It may sound like a luxury, but it's surrounded by mountains, so the grass grows all the time.

Every day, I hear the sound of lawnmowers nearby. Thank you to everyone who works there.

Please be careful of heat stroke and stay healthy during the hot summer. Until next time, take care and stay healthy.

I wish you the best of luck in the remaining summer heat.

Overgrown field

Keep the Silver Human Resources Center clean.

I harvested peanuts.

It was boiled in a flat oven.

It's a peanut field.

This is a mountain hut stove.

We cleared the peanut fields.

After sweeping, I planted buckwheat.

The remaining heat is intense. How are you doing? The sun is so hot! I feel like I'm going to burn. Is that an exaggeration? I'm going out to the fields in the middle of the day, but I'm enjoying it a little. That's because the sweet potatoes waiting for the next harvest are lively and healthy. It's not just the potatoes, the silver workers who come to cut the grass are strong and operate the machines despite their advanced age. But they are pushing themselves too hard in this heat. Thank you so much. I hope you all get through this remaining heat while waiting for the cooler autumn. Please stay healthy until my next letter.

I cut the wheat.

2024-05-30

It's a strong powder.

I cut it in 3 hours.

Hang it on the fence to dry.

After drying for a week, the grain is threshed.

good job. thank you. (after lunch)

It is threshed wheat.

The weather continued to be sunny. That's a blessing. Even though I was hoping for rain, I still prefer sunny weather at this time. It's a selfish wish. Taking advantage of this weather, we were able to finish cutting and threshing the wheat. The next step is to transport it to the flour mill. We secure next year's seeds, set aside a small amount for milling in a stone mill, and then turn the rest into flour. We hope that those who purchase it will be able to make delicious bread and pizza. I make it too, I'm a pizza person. I may be saying this in a carefree way, but we started with tea picking, entered the busy farming season, and then planted potato seedlings. Everyone, please be careful of heat stroke. Until the next letter. Goodbye.
