Woke up at 8:00am this morning and had a breakfast of my usual toast and coffee, Yasuko and Koby were off to school, while Evan and I did our normal routines. The weather was nice and warm today and perfect for working in the garden.I got all of the garden weeded today and took the tomato's out of the green house and built a teepee around them so they will have something to support them when they start making a lot of tomatoes. I prepared the soil for the corn also but will wait for about 5 days before I transplant the corn to their new home.
As I was working in the garden today Fujita grandpa came and checked the school's garden plot, so I showed him all of the plants that I had started, he asked me if I wanted some more tomato plants and I told him sure, so he said follow me to my house.
I went over to the Fujita house and got 6 regular tomato plants and 4 more mini tomato plants, it was way more than I needed, but if I have extra then I will have something to give away and trade to other people. Also while I was there I got a head of lettuce, about 8 cucumbers, and two bunches of spinach. Also Kitayama-san gave us a bunch of asparagus today and oh yeah almost forgot, Sumi-san dropped by and gave us some Daikon (Japanese radish), have I mentioned that I love living in a farming community.
All of my plants are doing well, and I think all of the edemame I planted have sprouted, I also noticed that 2 of the green bean seeds I planted have started to sprout. Tomorrow I am going to cut weeds for a couple of hours before Koby and myself have to go to Japanese class at Endo-sensei's house.
Yasuko has Yoga tonight and has prepared dinner before she left, the kids and I ate and then watched spiderman 2 before they went to bed.
