I Planted Seedlings of Strawberry and Onion Today

Eight Strawberry Seedlings with Ground Cover of Black Plastic Sheet

About Fifty Seedlings of Onion which I grew from seeds.

Recently a neighbor gave me eight seedlings of strawberry. I planted them today. Every time I laid black plastic sheet for ground cover, I felt it difficult to neatly place it on the ground. As for the onions, I planted about fifty of them. Since I chose the taller ones to plant, many shorter seedlings are still left unplanted. Will I dispose or plant? Actually, there is neither a place to plant remaining seedlings, nor my energy to do it.

After doing those works, I thought I was going to take my mother to the town of Niigata. Since an ID photo is necessary to apply for the issue of the national ID card “My Number Card”, I wanted to take her to a photograph studio in Niigata. She has never got a driver’s license, and her passport is expired long time ago. She doesn’t have any ID card with photo.

I talked to her at 11am. Then I realized that she was sleeping in the bed. I don’t think 11am is a time to sleep, but anyway, I had to give up my idea to take her to Niigata.

What I didn’t expect in the Morning happened in the Afternoon.

I walked to a DIY shop in the morning. I bought 20 litter of Soil there. Recently one of neighbors gave me eight seedlings of strawberry. Of course I thanked him, but I know that strawberry can hardly grow in my garden, because soil is too bad. I had tried several times growing strawberry in the past. Strawberry couldn’t grow well in my garden, nor could I harvest the fruit well. So, I didn’t have any plan to plant strawberry in my garden in this autumn. However, having been given seedlings, I have already made the place to plant them. When I plant a seedling, I will make a gap between the soil of a seedling and soil of my garden. And I am going to fill the gap with soil that I bought in DIY shop today.

I took my mother to a small local clinic in the afternoon. She had a health check ten days ago. So today is a day to receive the result of the check and a flu shot. When the doctor told her the result, I was also there because she would forget anything the doctor told her. The doctor told her to take a more detailed inspection in the big hospital. The doctor wrote a referral letter and gave it to us. I have to take her to the big hospital next week.

 I am just a layman about medicine. And no one can make a judgement about her symptoms exactly at this point. Let her take a test first. But I feel a little wondering. I quit my job in foreign country, and came back here in July. If my mother’s condition is not good and someone needs to take a care of her, does it mean I retired and came back home in a good timing?

A Neighbor gave me Seedlings of Strawberry

I was cultivating a place to plant onions’ seedlings in this morning. Then a neighbor came to my field. He wanted to see how I was doing with my vegetables and fruits trees. At the end of the talk, he gave me seedlings of strawberry as the photo below. Actually, I had also grown strawberry in my field several years ago. But it was a little difficult for me to grow strawberry well. And then I had given up because I was too busy because I was working as a Japanese teacher on line at that time.

Although I thought that working for vegetables in this season would be over when I have planted garlic and onions, now I have got another plant that is strawberry in eight pots. Although they are not many, I need to make a place to plant them and take a care of them. If it’s going well, I will be able to get some strawberry in May.
