Trying to be ready for spring farming by mixing boiled soy beans to recycle soil, which my old friend organic farmer suggested. Will try to harvest as mush as possible for my daily life. 秋野菜の残りを収穫、春の窓際農園の準備を始める。土リサイクルの為に、茹で大豆を土に混ぜてみた。古い友人鹿児島の有機農場古澤さん、いつも色々教えてくれて有難う！今年も出来るだけの自給自足目指す。

How could this side hole be made? My usual enemy squirrel? こんな横穴なぜ出来る？ いつもの敵、りす？
I guess because it got cooler and not minding using fire in the kitchen. Cooked 3 times concentrated noodle soup base with old friend in Tokyo, Keiko recipe, so I can keep using next 1 year. Also cooked shiitake-mushrooms and kombu, recycling after taking dashi for soup base, cooked tsukudani adding sliced bitter cucumber from my window side farm. It will be great with steamed white rice. I love Keiko recipe because it is simple, easy, practical and very tasty.
Keiko recipe, noodle soup base, ichibsn dashi, last a year in a fridge.
Keiko recipe, 2bandashi. Will be used tonight’s buckwheats noodle dinner.
涼しくなって台所で火を使うのが嫌で無くなって来たし、食欲も出て来たんで、保存食作り始めた。東京の姉貴、長い友人の恵子レシピで、3倍濃縮そばつゆ。1年保つので、ちょっとずつ大切に使って行く。2倍だしは、今晩の蕎麦に。出涸らし椎茸と昆布に窓際農園で取れたゴーヤ(これも、苗はブルックリンのエイコ&ケンからだ。水さえやれば育ち放題、いっぱい収穫出来たよ。有り難う！)を足して佃煮にした。小分け冷凍して、少しずつ食べよう。
Oh, this is my long term luxury pleasure, organic farming, out of the window of NYC apartment during summer. Since I am from Tokyo originally, farming was not something very close to me and never interested before I move to NYC. My Italian landlord used to give me bags of harvest such as tomatoes, cucumbers, grapes and more from their large back yard every summer. Home grown tomatoes taste like fruits and so good. Squirrels are always my enemy.
Several days ago, mini tomatoes, medium tomatoes and Shiso Japanese basil.
This morning, more tomatoes and a nigauri/bitter cucumber that Eiko and Ken brought me a baby plant that amazes me how fast and powerfully grows since last month.
東京にいた頃は植物育てる事に興味は無かってけれど、イタリア人の大家が、毎夏ほぼ毎日裏庭でバーベキューして、トマト、きゅうり、葡萄を育て、たまに袋いっぱいのそれらをくれて、そんなのを見ながら自分でもやる様になった。育児で忙しかった時期を除いて、nyのアパート窓外のオーガニックファーミングは、私にとってとっても贅沢な楽しみだ。実益も当然兼ねたいし、シソ等はどこでも手に入る訳じゃ無いし、限られたスペース本気で使ってる。来年はきゅうりも作りたいな🥒。肥料はミミズのウンコ。敵はリス。今年は、大声出して棒でつついたら来なくなった。
