potager y japan vegetable gardening in japan we grow about 40 to 50 types of vegetables and about 20 types of fruits in our potager garden this photo blog represents an attempt to document the thrills and challenges of a student gardener for me it is heavenly enough just to be able to connect with the soil and nature and if we get to eat the fruits of our labor it is but an added bonus about about this blog the gardener the potager location sunday may 12 2013 change of blog host thank you for dropping by please be advised that this blog is no longer active for the latest updates please visit kedahan malaysian japan https lronglim blogspot com posted by lrong lim no comments sunday april 21 2013 sakuras 2013 in full bloom the amateur farmer in me had been rather foolishly i d add unconcerned with the significance of the frost dates in the region so it was quite a wake up call for me as i finally come to my senses taking note of the frost warning on 19th april yes frost on 19th april for a location that falls under usda zone 9 now i have to keep this date in mind for my future seed germination plans and planting schedules anyway this year we are blessed once again with the sakura blooms in our garden the above shot is that of the shidare sakura my favorite another shot of the shidare ok i placed the photos in reverse order this shot shows the shidare as they began to bloom their colors are deeper at this beginning stage this specimen is the somei yoshino which is used as the standard bearer to denote the blooming dates throughout japan the somei yoshino tree in portrait style another angle of the somei yoshino the somei yoshino and our house shot from a distance for more pictures of the sakuras in the neighborhood and the hills please see here posted by lrong lim 1 comment labels sakura friday april 5 2013 mimosa acacia in full bloom the mimosa acacia is native to australia especially new south wales victoria and tasmania years ago when we moved here i found some seedlings growing in our property i picked them up transplanted them and wooh what a surprise they bloom in spring over here and we really like the fluffy puffy and fragrant flowers i find them to be difficult photo subjects especially the close ups but these few picks are quite decent shots no p s notice the wild sakuras blooming in the hills at the background posted by lrong lim 25 comments labels mimosa acacia sunday march 24 2013 manuka flowers posted once before on this plant see here we have two such plants and they come under of the care of my suweeto haato native to new zealand and southeast australia scientific name is leptospermum scoparium and the common name ranges from manuka manuka myrtle new zealand tea tree to broom tea tree the japanese name is gyo ru bai and although pronounced similarly the characters takes four different forms 1 ギョリュウバイ 2 檉柳梅 3 魚柳梅 4 御柳梅 a bit confusing isn t it the famous manuka honey gets its name from this plant flower now if only i can get into bee keeping the leaves can also be used as tea although our plants are still a bit too small for leaf harvesting posted by lrong lim 22 comments labels manuka tea tree wednesday march 20 2013 carrots radish broccoli today is vernal or spring equinox and japan celebrates it as a national holiday which means i get to dirty my hands in the potager and also that the weather is warming up for good yahoooo but hmmm my carrots this season rather pathetic they are smallish under nourished and somewhat un luscious looking no anyway harvested a bunch of them today and into the pot of beef curry for dinner this evening luckily the taste was quite good the other harvest is the radish or daikon as the japanese folks call it had it with miso soup before the beef curry main course nice i always grow my broccolli and cauliflower in the autumn for harvesting the following spring almost always the broccoli wins hands down the cauliflower is normally measly and ooh i should be putting in fertilizer for the poor plant anyway my suweeto haato just boiled the broccoli lightly tasted extremely fresh and crunchy posted by lrong lim 14 comments labels broccoli carrots radish
