Am now here, visiting the University of Calgary for some business...
The temperature is minus one degree... not too bad although it snowed two days ago...
There are three yamazakuras at our place, and this one is the first to bloom...
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...
