This is the state of the fields on Saturday, September 2nd. Crops were cultivated on rented land in May of this year, and the harvest season arrived four months later in September.
Work proceeds in sequence from field design to plowing, sowing, planting, and weeding, and the crops grow beautifully!!!
This year, the farm was hit by unseasonable weather, including typhoons and heat, causing many crops to fall over. As cultivation was done through trial and error, it was extremely difficult to determine the optimal harvest time.
