A rather cryptic title – I’d like to show you all the flowers that bloomed in November, all the seedlings that sprouted and the trip to New Delhi at the end of November (hopefully after publishing this blog).
Here are the flowers that bloomed:
The splenderous white Dahlia
The majestic rose
Thriving abutilons
Dahlia Imperialis – blooming 2 meters above the ground
Colorul Lantana
Another abutilon – small red and yellow lanterns
Chrysanthemums in profusion
Chrysanthemum of a different color in bloom

Kochia Scoparia – a bushy plant that changes color in autumn and resembles a broom in winter (called houkiso in Japanese)
Let us look at the winter vegetables now.
My first square foot bed with four rows of eight plants
My second square foot bed with 48 onion seedlings
Third square foot bed with coriander, spinach and green peas
Fourth square foot bed – cabbage, cauliflower and broccoli
That’s all I have for you in this post, folks, as I leave for New Delhi on official work! Until next time, happy gardening!
Your flowers are gorgeous. They’re all so healthy. Never seen anything like the Kochia Scoparia. I really like it. Wish you a fruitful trip to Delhi!
Thanks so much for our nice comments, Anita.
Everything seem to bloom marvelously!
Guess I’m lucky that the flowers liked me and decided to bloom
That pink abutilon bush is so pretty! Best wishes for a wonderful 2012!
Thank you Cindy, for dropping by. I hope I will be able to see the wonderful flora of Rwanda and Africa through your photos.
the tall purple dahlia is so striking! I wish I could find some row cover like yours, it seems like it is reinforced, mine is not that strong and rips easily!
Hi Sissy, the dahlias grow at a height of nearly 2 m. Last year one of the plants broke in half because of the typhoon; I think I should use stronger posts to anchor them. The stalks are not very strong; I suggest that you support them using strong posts. They really look good when in bloom.
Such colorful flowers, your vegetable garden looked so healthy as well!
Thanks so much for dropping by and for your nice comment.
Hi, I liked ALL in your blog! Abutilon looks like I had in my home, your foot beds, vegetables.
Thank for visiting my blog

That Dahlia Imperialis is royal indeed!
Hello, I really like your blog! It is so interesting to see what vegetables you are growing. Your vegetable garden is very neat and beautiful – not like mine at all (I’m embarrassed to show it!). I see that you are growing fava beans. I love these as well – they are an unusual vegetable in America but very tasty. Happy gardening and please continue sharing your garden with us.
I enjoy your blog and have nominated it for the “Liebster blog” award. See my latest post (http://virtualvisitmygarden.blogspot.com/2012/02/liebster-blog-award.html) for details.
Hi, I just found your blog and I love it! I can’t wait to see what the new year will look like.

Thank you so much, Susan. I am currently out of Japan and will resume writing the blog soon. Have a great day!
