Seeding Komatuna


It's still so warm in Osaka even in the middle of October that I can seed Komatsuna in a part of the ridge where egg-plant trees were.

I expanded insect screen to maximum length to cover the part of the komatuna since cabbage butterflies are still seen and I have to prevent them from laying eggs on the leaves.

私達の育ている小松菜をそろそろ食べちゃうかなあ。小松菜の成長がはやいです。また、害虫は小松菜よりキャベツの方が好きです。日本に留学した時小松菜ばかり食べました。

11月が近いというのにまだ大阪は暖かいので小松菜の成長も早いと思います。私のキャベツはまだ虫には喰われてませんね。白菜はヨトウムシに少しやられていますが。

Although November is coming soon temperature in Osaka is still around 15~22C.
I believe my komatuna can grow sooner.
My cabbages are still intact while my chinese cabbages (hakusai) are fed a little bit by hornworms.

Good luck with your Komatsunas! I am still planting a few more as well. The other ones I sowed grew well on this cold days, I am sure yours will too.

Happy to hear your komatuna's grown well.
Today temperature of all over Japan has down suddenly and I wonder my komatuna can germinate.
But this cold temperate can make hakusai(Chinese cabbage)'s leaves roll.
I believe my winter vegetables have been waiting for the cold weather.
