I've been living in Japan for 41 years, currently in the city of Kamakura (home of Japan's first Shogunate), about 50 kilometers (30 miles) south of Tokyo on the coast of Sagami Bay. I enjoy morning hikes in our beautiful nature preserves. My hobbies are reading/learning, driving, cooking, baking and vegetable gardening.

We Found the Garden Thieves!! 🐶🤩

So, it wasn’t squirrels after all! It was other critters that I hadn’t detected in 17 years of living here! I won’t spoil the surprise, you’ll have to watch the episode. Hopefully, I’ve found a solution. 🐶🤩👍🏾

I found some volunteer tomatoes growing in my old compost pile, so I transplanted them into the bed with the eggplant and butternut squash. My Jalapeño starts are looking good, too! 👍🏾🤩🐶

So far, every thing I’ve planted is coming up well. I also planted more cucumbers, okra, jalapeño seeds and peanuts. And I have new crop covers to keep the bugs away. Bug season is almost here! 🤩🐶
