    Hello,  AnD friends!!!!!!!  Sorry I haven't updated in a very long time. will start again little by little beginning by thanking all for your concern and support  for the disaster areas. 

    as you know Lady Gaga is in Japan for charity concert tour. after MTV concert on Saturday, she will visit Tohoku areas.This year the rainy season set in later than usual in Tohoku. hope the heavy rainfall will not worry victims any more.

    Where'd you get those peepers? Gaga takes off her sunglasses as she leaves the MTV concert to show off eye make-up that looks like eyes

    in Tokyo it has been so hot and humid that if you don't have an air conditioner, you can't sleep. however, we should save  electricity  to avoid the threat of major blackout as a result of the crisis at the Fukushima No. 1 nuclear power plant.  TEPCO. Tokyo Electric Power Co. ,begins electricity forecasts, urges power saving steps.The government and many companies are already working on ways to save it. 

    so what should I do? 


    hehe, I  have planted Goya, traditional summer vegetable of Okinawa, in a planter..

    actually  Goya is  easy to grow at home and creates  natural green curtain to block heat.  this season it becomes so popular and i couldn't get any seeds so far. at last I happened  upon tiny  plants at nearby flower shop. I can hardly  wait until it bear a lot of Goya,  bitter gourds!!





    Goya Chanpuru, okinawan stir fry,is my favorite.
    It is said eating Goya helps to beat the summer heat



    two weeks earlier  I planted some veges.
    do you know what kind of plants?




    answers...


    eggplant 


    and Edamame beans.  are growing well though i hardly care for them.

    I remember. when i grew blueberries, the birds ate all unripened berries :-p  do you have good idea to keep the birds away from my planters?

    If you print that picture of Lady Gaga and put it next to your plant, it should scare the birds away.

    Glad that u are ok girl. Miss you around.
    Here the folks use newspaper to cover up the fruits on the tree to avoid it eaten by the squirrels or birds. But i am not too sure does eggplant need sunlight. Put scarecrow? XP

    glad to hear you are okay Jasmine
    you have been in my thoughts

    In the past I've always had cats so not had any trouble with birds, although they do get into my plum trees I have enough plums to share with them so it doesn't matter.
