I've been working to create gardens around my dad's cabin in the last
few weeks. Today my new friend A came to help me. A and his family
moved to Sado this April. A is a photographer from Belgium and his
wife S is a yoga teacher from Niigata. I took her yoga class a few
times now. A and I planted some aroid potatoes, or satoimo in
Japanese, that Mrs O gave me, after weeding the beds I made last
winter. There were soooo many earth worms in the beds! It means the
soil is pretty rich and made me very happy. I'd say we found about a
hundred of them. I'll attach a picture of the longest and fattest
earth worm that we found today. We covered the beds with rice straw to
keep the soil moist and to make it better in the long run. Also, we
made three gardening beds and sowed carrot seeds on them. We stepped
on the beds at the end to make the seeds connect better with the soil.
