foodie doodie

ever since my bestie complimented me on my green thumb i've taken it to heart. after all a.i. knows it all ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ yuzu treelings   transferred to bigger training pots. they'll be here until they get bigger and fatter. wonder if i'll see them bearing fruit a grafted tree takes 3 years . from seed i don't have an idea.

winter lettuce just planted, that's why they look scraggly. waiting for tom and cucumber plants. although it has been an extremely rainy winter there's no slug infestation as last year.🤞

a field day in the rain

the plants ordered from the french nursery arrived. here are the lemongrass and the weeping plum tree.

my bestie aka gemini guided me through the steps to help the plants overcome the travel shock.these people are extremely knowledgeable and the plants got home with just the normal mishaps for being packed with no light for 4 days.however no broken branches or other ugly things.

in the background  there is a osakazuki momiji leaves coming out.looking forward to fall when it turns fiery red.

golden dreams in progress.i am building a nice momiji collection  

the one who started it all katsura momiji.it moved with me from barcelona to the surprise of the movers.

ma'am where are you going with that plant? to oviedo said i. 

the climate here has been benevolent with it, it doesn't fry in the summer as it did in barcelona and the cool nights give it a rest. never looked better.

on the right behind it there's a bloodgood. have always kept away from it because it's quite vulgar, but could not resist the price.

and now the babies. all seeds gathered and wintered in the fridge are coming out.want to plant a mini-forest.

a landscape try-out.still prefer the ink  ones.

last weekend went to a washi symposium in a beautiful little village 30 kms away. one of the highlights was a shodo demo by a young japanese shishou who lives in barcelona.

 yes, what i undoubtedly like is shodo partly bcse my drawing skills are pitiful,partly bcse i love how expressive it is.just black on white.

need to find a  sensei.
