Today, I visited my Father-in-law's farm. I went there with father-in-law to do some farm work as I always like to do farm work and gardening as well. When we reached the farm, I asked my father-in-law how can I help him. He gave me few instruction: As per instruction, firstly, I took out weeds that were growing around the onion shoots. Then I soften the soil around the shoots and made it even. Secondly, I worked on another piece of land, where I laid down young onion shoots next to each other, separating each at 10 centimetre distance. Thirdly, I put straws or hay to cover the roots of the shoots. After this, I took a short break as a part of the instruction :)) While I was on break I took some picture thinking my blog readers may be interested to see what is farming like in spring in Japan. Hopefully, you'll enjoy them. Furthermore, I worked on different piece of land where there were lots of weed growing around a row of chives, which is one of my favourite ingredients for making Tibetan dish called "momo". This dish is similar to Japanese gyoza except we use beef (if you're non-vegetarian) or cottage cheese (if you're vegetarian). Finally, we brought handful of chives to home. As a result of today's farm work, I feel physically good and mentally rewarding. I appreciate my father-in-law for providing me this wonderful experience.
