Today's harvest from the garden



The vegetables are ready for harvesting. It is early summer and the weather today is beautiful. It is partly cloudy which is cool and comfortable. It is about 9.30 am on a Sunday morning with a temperature and humidity of 26c and 80% respectively. Know what? My 2 immediate neighbors are feeling uncomfortable and warm, thus having their air-conditioning switched on. To us,Singapore at this time is really humid and hot but not here in Japan. I supposed the Japanese are more sensitive to the "humid and warm" weather.

Two types of tomatoes









Last season we grew only one type of tomatoes i.e. cherry tomatoes. This season we grow two types, the cherry and large tomatoes. Still waiting for them to grow bigger and riper before we pluck them. Another month perhaps.

Growing tomatoes in our garden





It may take another month or more for the cherry tomatoes (topmost pic) and the normal tomatoes to grow bigger and riper before we can harvest them. It sure is exciting to see them grow. Gardening is good for the overall health.
The spring weather is comfortable but the tomatoes need slightly warmer weather with plenty of sunshine.
Will post again when the tomatoes are ripen.

It is an exciting time for we have now planted the summer crops like cherry tomatoes, tomatoes, cucumber, bitter gourd and other vegetables. In about 3 months time, weather permitting, we should start to see the fruits of our labor.

The first 2 top pictures are a combinations of okra, tomatoes, bitter gourd seedling plants which we bought. These plants are suitable for the spring and summer seasons. The last 3 pictures are from the internet and we hope our seedlings will grow to be like them.
