Growth in cold rain.









In a past few days weather in Japan has dramatically changed. The temperature has dropped suddenly from 22c high to 14c high.
Some typhoons and autumn rain systems brought that "winter-like autumn".

While germination of komatunas seems to delay my winter vegetables like Chinese cabbages (Hakusai) and cabbages might welcome the cold weather. They need cold temperature to roll their leaves inside for protecting themselves from coldness, which is an important process of growth.

Your brassicas are growing beautifully under the nets. Mine has been nipped a bit. Don't have time to F.P.K. lately.

Well my nets is a big help to raise my brassicas, I believe. It can minimize usage of pesticide.
I'm concerned about strong wind caused by a strong typhoon which is approaching to Japan's main island.
