Spring has come to Kobe, Japan. After an unusually cold winter here with more snow than normal, the sun started to shine and the sakura trees bloomed. For about 10 days around here and at least 2-3 weeks in this area, the trees burst forth with delicate pink blossoms. These are not at all like the sakura we saw in Okinawa in February. So very refreshing.
The garden has started to bud and bring forth their floral. Most of my garden has purple flowers of various kinds. Don’t know how that all happened when the garden was originally planted.
This year I’ve decided to have a small vegetable garden, using the square foot method. Much easier to manage the ever-present weeds. Mostly salad items have been planted: tomatoes, mini tomatoes, colored peppers, sunny lettuce, beets, chard, okra.
