The seed potatoes from Kitaibaraki, which arrived on March 21st, were prepared on the 20th, and today started growing them in seedling trays.First, cut the seed potatoes into 60g units and sun-dried them. Next, disinfected the cut surfaces. Then coated the cut surfaces with slaked lime. And then sun-dried them again. Since it was lightly rainy and cloudy on the 22nd and 23rd, today lined the seedling trays with river sand and buried the seed potatoes in it. Buried about 30 seed potatoes in each tray. Placed about 70 seedling trays next to the field. From now on, will manage the temperature and sprout them over a period of about 50 days.

これはフジテレビで放映された唐沢寿明主演の戦争、捕虜体験を得て戦後に商社に就職して航空機の販売合戦、中東の油田開発他の活躍で副会長まで出世しながら、最後は潔く身を引き荒野に眠る同僚の復縁に身をささげる壮大なドラマです。感度しました。私は山崎豊子の作品が大好きです。
Spent three days watching the Netflix movie "The Barren Land," which took more than 30 hours.This is an epic drama starring Toshiaki Karasawa, originally broadcast on Fuji TV.

I was deeply moved. I love Toyoko Yamazaki's works.

今年のサツマイモの種芋から育苗する為の苗床を造りました。種芋の種類は鳴門金時、安納芋、紫芋、紅あずま、栗まさり、シルクスイートの６種類です。約５０個ほどあります。１個当たり１０本以上の蔓が生えてきますので、全体で500本以上の蔓苗が採れると思います。
Prepared a seedbed for growing seedlings from this year's sweet potato seed potatoes. The seed potatoes are of six varieties: Naruto Kintoki, Annou Imo, Murasaki Imo, Beni Azuma, Kuri Masari, and Silk Sweet. There are about 50 of them. Each potato will produce more than 10 vines, so I think I'll be able to harvest more than 500 vine seedlings in total.
