A Day in the Garden

I usually teach at a kindergarten on Mondays, but the schedule was changed and I ended up with an unexpected day off. So, this morning we decided to do a bit in the garden as it’s going to rain this afternoon. My Mum in England sent me some seeds for some giant sunflowers a while ago, and they are much bigger than Japanese sunflowers. Hana planted them with me, and is really enjoying seeing how big they will grow.

This is a little Hydrangea that is growing from a cutting my Dad sent me when they moved house. I am amazed it survived the journey!!

A couple of years ago we brought back some acorns from England and planted them in pots in our garden. We ended up with six little oak trees!! We gave a couple to friends, and have the rest in pots in the garden. They are very different to Japanese oak trees, but will be too big for our garden. I might ask the kindergartens I go to if we can plant them in their grounds, or ask a friend of mine in the city office if we can plant them in the park?

The headmaster of the kindergarten I teach at gave me some Morning Glory flower seeds, and we didn’t really have anywhere to plant them, but I stuck them in the soil in a corner of the garden and they are growing!! Put a net up today so they have something to climb up………

We wanted to make the garden a bit more private for when we have BBQs, so I put this up and got the ivy growing up it a few weeks ago. It has made it much more private.

And today the radiation levels outside were very low!! The lowest levels since we got the Geiger counter, so hopefully they will remain that way. Fingers crossed!!

The mini car!! The power steering went on our car the other day and while it’s being fixed we are driving around in a little courtesy car. Hana loves it!! She calls it the Noddy car, and thinks it’s great!! Anyway, not a lot going on today, but will put up a more interesting post sometime soon!!

All the best,
Eddie
