Lopping the persimmon

2009-11-15T01:32:00.000-08:00

It' was fine day today in ages.
I did lop this persimmon this morning.
It had tow fruits at this year first time.

We found out some frogs and toads on the leaves every years.

These are cut the branches.

This is the lopped persimmons.

This picture is for another strawberry field.

And this was our breakfast.

We enjoyed to eat them out side under the morning sun.

A mustard

2009-11-14T03:36:00.000-08:00

This is a mustard which we will test the leaves and flowers next spring.

AyeYai made me plant these nursery plant which she bought.

I will post pictures of them in my blog next year.

It's the same as last year.

One year ago

2009-11-11T02:28:00.001-08:00

Here is this chrysanthemum one year ago.

And this is today's picture of the chrysanthemum.

These pictures are thr growth record of it.

The chrysanthemum with an insect

2009-11-07T16:22:00.001-08:00

This is the chrysanthemum under the orange osmanthus in our garden.

We could be enjoying Chrysanthemum, Murasakishikibu and Marigold same time last year.

Is it a mosquito on the petal?

What a sort of insect is it?

The orange osmanthus story

2009-11-05T02:17:00.000-08:00

I did branch lopping for this tree the day before yesterday.

Here is the tree last year.
Here is one month ago.

And this is today's the tree.

After lopping, it's a countermeasure for my golden years near future.

Because I don't like to do branch lopping at high altitude.
That will be danger for the old man.

Soft Landing

2009-11-03T02:41:00.000-08:00

I found out the ripe persimmon which was soft landing.

Another fallen one persimmon got crushed a month ago.

It was green on 5th October.

I ate it delectably!

The mole pass away!

2009-10-31T03:52:00.000-07:00

When I took the pictures at our garden, I'm afraid that I found out the body of the mole this morning. Is it his foreordination?

Morning Glory? in late autumn!

Something is wrong!

Are the both happenings this an effect of the global warming?

A teeny-tiny autumn in our garden

I found out a mole twice today.

As soon as he catch me, he back in the tunnel which he came out first time.

Are you OK? You are on surface of the round for long time.
