Oh Cat...LOL what a cute story!  I totally understand how your dad felt!! I am glad he got it all going though! My husband loves the cucumbers here, he says they are so much bettter then the ones you get in the states. Maybe I will try my hand at those too.So many people grow little gardens here and it is really neat to see them. I have never been in one because all my friends that are native here do not have a garden but I admire them from afar. The kids and I have been watching the rice paddies as they went from mud puddles to young disorganized to organized plants and now it is harvest time and it is so neat to see the bunches of rice hanging to dry all over the place. It is the first time I have seen rice grow in person and we have enjoyed it! I like where we live now out more in the country side. It allows us to see (and often smell!  lol) the farms and gardens here and I love it! Now if I could just be able to try my hand at it ...I would be happy!!
I hope your dad's garden comes along splendidly!
Til Next Time...

| Hi Buttercup - Have you thought about growing and collecting seeds for some of the native Japanese veggies that you won't be able to find when you go back to the states? |

Erin,
No I haven't because of two things; first, I can not read konji so I would not know what I had nor how to care for it and second, I can not bring those seeds back with me so I would go through A LOT of trouble to learn how to grow and care for something that I could never grow or have again. I am wanting to practice here so I have more expirence for my big garden in the States. I am hoping to grow carrots and tomatos and strawberries etc Things I know I will grow back home. If you know of a way that I can bring seeds home or get them back in the States then I would love to do that because there are things I am sure we would enjoy having in our garden Stateside if we could. Let me know!!
And thank you so much for your interest!!
Hugz!!
