Chervil

NEC_0181.JPGIt has been hotter or colder than usual this year, a bit strange weather here and there in Japan. Everything seems to be harvested less than usual, our black beans in the tiny farm have not been ready yet. But chervils in some of our pots grow alright. As you see, they look sensitive and weak but actually they grow well you provide everything they like. They survive in the snow! Most herbs love strong sunshine but they are one of a few exceptions. They prefer cooler place where there's some shades like just a bottom of big trees. They prefer moist and fertilized sand. We put some leaf mould for it to keep them that way. If it's November, strong sunshine like in summer never kills them, so sometimes we put them in sunshine to grow.
They smells good in your mouth, just slightly though. One of our favorite herb for cooking :-)

The old JNR/JR express trains running the layout.

A family guest enjoyed running their own trains in our layout the other day.

Good to see long trains running the layout slowly!

Tomatoes 2011

P9130737.JPGMaybe because of the much rainfall and lacking of sunshine in the last half of this previous August, tomatoes had not grown enough much. Look as if they were mini tomatoes but not. Beans also look smaller than usual. I believe it firmly that sunshine is really important to grow vegitables. How about your house farms?

Peach pudding

P8200703.JPGTried to make some peach puddings and done :-) Expected a lot more beautiful in color, but tastes good because enough much cream were used. Also tried some cups for it. Small ones for individual demands and large ones for party size. The one in the pic here is served from a large one by adding a couple of mints.

Japan won at the women's world cup soccer!

Japan won at the women's soccer world cup 2011 held in Germany.
A good news after a long interval for Japanese people! Pitty it was around 3-4 a.m. when the game was broadcasted here in Japan. I was not able to watch it due to sleeping. Thanks for encouraging us all.
