Summer vacation

This summer is so hot. By the way, I often harvest tomatoes.

Next month, I'll go to my parent's home to spend a time with my family during summer vacation.
I'll take frozen tomatoes to my father because my father likes tomatoes. I hope he'll like them.

After summer vacation, I have to prepare autumn's vegetables.

I often harvest leaves of rocket.

These are tomatoes.



When I can't eat tomatoes, I freeze them.
My friend told me this way.

Basil and extreme heat

I harvested tomatoes again.

I ate dried fish "Himono" as dinner.


It is so popular to eat dried fish with grated Daikon "daikon oroshi".

Of course, I like grated Daikon.
So I often eat fish and meats with grated Daikon.

By the way, it is the hottest summer in 2 years according to news.

Yesterday, tokyo was so hot. News said that some people died of heatstroke during the heat wave.

I like summer. However, I hope autumn will come soon.
I kept to run the air conditioner while sleeping because it was so hot in the night...

Of course, I will do run the air conditioner tonight.

This is basil.



I will harvest them soon.
