Tometoes planted

We cultivated tomato fields yesterday and the day before yesterday.We planted a few tomatos today. It took 1 week last year but it took only3 days this year because our friend lent us a special machine for tomatoplanting.We are happy!! Thank you Mr.Hujisawa.

Rice field 1

We started rice field season. Akio-san cultivated our rice field with thetractor. When he was cultivating there many frogs come out from the soil.Frogs are still hibernating and were woken up by Akio-san.They must have been surprised!!We are going to plant a little rice on the 27th of May.We are looking forward to planting with many friends.If anyone wants to have an experience planting rice, please keep in touch with me.

We planted little trees

We (my father, Huwa, Wara, and I) went to the forest to plant a few trees that are called 'Hinoki' It's my friend's forest. He has cut many trees, because he'll build a new house. He wanted to use his own trees.He planned to plant new trees, so we helped him.The forest is very good and comfortable! I like the forest.We searched, after planting, for Sansai which are edible wild plants.Today is a good day to have new experience.Huwa and Wara enjoyed it too.Huwa cut a medium sized tree and they ate some snacks on the fallen tree.He planted some little trees with me and his grandfather.He said " I want to play here everyday!! "My father dug a small hole and we planted a litte tree.

Potatoes plants

We planted potatoes .This potato will be eaten by our family, and wwoofers,and customers who visit our farm. Akio-san likes potatoes very much.Potato plants are good before cherry blossom in this area, so we were late to plant.This picture is of wwoofers. At first they plowed with a hoe, but the soi lwas so soft they changed to use long rubber boots. It was easy to plow!

Peach flowers

This picture is peach trees. There are in blossom now.
We removed a lot of peach buds, so there wouldn't be so many peach flowers.
Peach flowers are pinker than cherry blossoms. That are very cute!

We have 4 new wwooffers this golden week, so they started to remove apple
flowers. We spent a nice day with them.
