I grew sanchu in a miso pot and a 2-liter PET bottle. I wanted to observe how long the roots would grow. The sanchu in the miso pot grew longer than the one in the PET bottle, but its stems were thinner. I found one sanchu with yellowing leaves, probably due to the cold or a lack of nutrients. I replanted it in a hydroponic system. It was very small and fit inside a tomato can. The roots were white, long, and strong. Now it is growing freely in the water.

After coming home from the field, I planted broccoli seeds. Usually, February is the suitable time, but I am trying to grow vegetables in different seasons, by using field and indoors. Winter but wa rms.

Even though I had just planted the mizuna that my neighbor gave me, striped flea beetles started eating it. I tried spraying it with a Stochu solution. Insects seem to dislike strong odors.
