Rice planting preparation is going well....
Rice planting is crazy. The machine you use to plant is used only for that. So it’s used exactly once a year. But if you don’t have it on that one day a year? Not worth thinking about. Luckily Mr Nagano, naturally is one of those plan ahead type people and checks his machines before the day of. And so here I am at the agricultural machinery shop. And they win hands down over my car mechanic- they are fixing it while I wait! And here I was on the drive over working out how to politely request they put a priority sticker on it so we could get it back before next weekend!
Rhubarb season has started!
Rhubarb is harvested through until the first frost but only stalks at the 25-30cm length so the volume available at any one time is a few kilos. BUT there's enough to go around. Promise! I have even more plants ready to harvest from than I did last year and last year I sold more than my weight in rhubarb. And I'm farmer sized! So if the website shows rhubarb as out of stock it will only be temporary until the next flush is ready. I'll keep you all updated.
If you live in the Tohoku to Kansai area you will notice that shipping has gone up too. I am sorry to do this but the post office has changed their service charges which means my co-op has too. We are working hard to bring you a greater variety of products so you will be able to order more in each order and hopefully that will make it worth the postage. There's not a lot ready to order yet but more than 200 kale plants are already in the ground along with swiss chard, okra, a range of herbs and zucchini and the first round of butternuts. Here's to a fabulous year!
