Good day from Kamakura, Japan, on this Wednesday, March 4th. It’s a cold and rainy day outside, but indoors things are looking pretty good. My plants are coming along really well…and I have a new batch coming along. I was also busy in the kitchen; I minced up a bunch of garlic. And I made a delicious apple desert. Let’s go back and take a look at the past few days.   

A garden is a grand teacher. It teaches patience and careful watchfulness; it teaches industry and thrift; above all it teaches entire trust." Gertrude Jekyll
