Only the morning was partly sunny and warm enough to lure me outdoors. I pulled up the plants that had gone to seed in the little greenhouse, discovering some perfectly formed cabbages and fresh spinach growing under the stalks of Napa flowers. I turned the compost and weeded the burning area, staked the rest of the peas with bamboo stalks from thin bamboo - the little branches stripped of the leaves are perfect for the peas to latch onto. It became cold and gloomy by afternoon, so I gave up.
Obachan gave me more takana pickles- I need to fry them up in oil with dashi-aji. We have enough salty pickles to give each of us a coronary.
