The winter of the balcony

I ate the bread of Garlic this morning.



After the breakfast, I watered the plants in the balcony.

A few days ago, I planted the garlic again.



I would like to harvest the garlic in the spring.

I like leek. In the spring, I had planted the seeds of leek. But I couldn't find sprouts. These are Japanese leek "Negi".



These are sprout of radish.

I miss the spring because I'll enjoy the gardening.

In order to enjoy it, I planted the next year and wrote it down on the note.

Japanese pancake "Okonomiyaki"

Yesterday, I made Japanese dish "Okonomiyaki" at home.



It is an western food of Japan. However, I like it. It isn't easy to make it for me. So I often eat it at the restaurants. At this time, I could make a delicious Okonomiyaki.

The garden center

After it is colder, I had planted seeds. They are bigger. After waking up, it is so fun to see them every day.









I often go to garden centers. Because it is the winter now, I can't find plants there. Next year, I would like to grow new plants and herbs. If it is warmer, I would like to go to there and I will buy new plants.

This year, I had found seeds Japanese vegetable "Hadaikon" in the garden center.

After harvesting them, leaves are bigger again!!!

I planted seeds of Hadaikon again. These are sprout.



By the way, I had planted seeds of carrot in the summer this year. But I couldn't harvest them. I often read books of gardening. According to them, it is difficult to grow carrots. Someday, I hope I would like to harvest them.

I bought carrots in super markets and I made pickles.

The coffee

I always drink the coffee every morning.



Then I checke emails and websites while drinking the coffee.

This is my breakfast.

In the past, I didn't eat the breakfast. However, my friends told me it is important to eat the breakfast. Recently, many Japanese don't eat breakfast because they want to sleep more. Of course, me too.

When I didn't eat the breakfast, I often had anemia. But Recently, I don't have anemia as I eat the breakfast.

Today, I found sprouts of radish.





I hope I'll harvest radish after 2 months.

The memory

Finally...

My grand father was gone this morning...

A years ago, my grand mother had been gone.
For him, it was so terrible sadness.

He lost the power to live since my grand mother's die.

His body was worse every day.

For us, it was so hard...

But we think he could stand in the hospital since today.
He tried to smile us.

I don't forget his kindness.

And I think I am happy I was born and they grew up for me when my parents was busy.

Of course, I am so sad and I would like to meet my grand father and grand mother.

However, he really loves my grand mother.
So he could meet her since 1 years.

If I think it is, my sadness is decreased a little.

I know my English is so strange.

So I now, write my true feeling.

This is my important place.

The garden of my grand...



I noticed the reason that I started to grown plants.

Because my grand mother and grand father did.

They loves nature.

They taught me it since I was a born.
I really thank my grand father and grand mother.
I will keep to grow plants and feel.

They are coming???

Full moon

This autumn will be finished soon.
I saw the full moon a few days ago.
