2026年04月18日 A Busy Day Gardening near Fuji mount

Today, I parked my motorbike at Shizuoka Bank and walked about 1km to Cainz. I bought two bitter melon seedlings for around 350 yen. At Mr. Tamura’s garden, I spread fertilizer and tilled the soil where I grew plenty of perilla, basil, and Vietnamese balm last year; Mr. Tamura is planning to plant cucumbers there this time. Later, Ý arrived with luffa and herb seeds. To wrap up the day, we went to dig for bamboo shoots and harvested some broccoli, coriander, and green onions. #LifeInJapan #JapanCountryside #Shizuoka #JapaneseGarden #livinginjapan
