Twenty-one years ago I bought a country house.
3 Fuyu persimmons, 1 astringent persimmon, 3 yuzu citrus fruits, 3 sansho peppers, and many flowers and trees in the garden and around the house.
I'm alone, and it's getting harder and harder to manage every year.
The garden tree was pruned short this spring.
A persimmon tree can be seen from the east garden after the annual outsourced mowing.
From the kitchen window, I could see three crows poking persimmon nuts. As I approached it flew away.
They know better than anyone when it's time to eat.
I decide to join them using Takaeda scissors.
