Gardening in the Neighborhood
The weather today has been gorgeous. It might seem strange but after a few days of some weather that just confused me, it is nice to have awoken to clear skies and coolish air.
The weather on the stroll around this Narashino neighborhood on Friday was perfect. The small plots of land are always stuffed to the bursting point with plants. The Japanese had a great knack when it comes to using space efficiently. Most people who are into gardening will have plants lined up on walls, in front of the home, and even planting some in the earth if they have the space.
I love look at how beautiful and compacted these gardens are. There is so much concrete we are surrounded by everywhere we turn, it is a pleasure to see some green leaves reaching towards the sunshine.
I too have tried to use my space efficiently by planting a container vegetable garden this year on my patio. I will keep you posted on it’s progress.
Keep on sowing seeds!
