Hiro's parent's are relatively self sufficient as far as food goes. Most of their vegies they grow themselves. In summer cucumbers, eggplant, tomatoes, zucchini, capsicum, - very Mediterranean - in winter pickled daikon in an unfathomable number of variations.

Really pretty pictures. I want so much to be "just a farmer". that sounds funny -perhaps- but I adore the life...outdoors...self-sufficient..I wanted to say how much I always enjoy your blog!
Hope life is going is well down your way. I love the vegies, but growing them... I struggle with plants on the balcony!
This makes me have farmer envy. Sam's uncle still lives on Sam's grandfather's farm and grows strawberries and vegetables and rice and lives in the old house that's been "reformed" on the first floor, but the second floor is full of old junk and black wooden beams and maybe ghosts. The barn is still standing but is now also full of old junk and maybe the ghosts of livestock. Sam, as a kid, had the job of feeding the cows when he visited, and still has a soft spot for them.
Farming is very underappreciated.
