Yet another garden update

Well... for the time period, uguys have to get use to my (probably) never ending update about my garden. We planted many variety of fruits and vegetables and one by one are blossoming into fruits of labour :)! Among all, i have been most anxious on edamame and corn! Edamame is not cheap in Japan, a small bag cost around 300 yen ($4 sin). They have the frozen version but all of them came from Taiwan and Thailand actually. Corn is also super expensive and come in seasonal period, but Japan corn are the sweetest i ever tasted.  Usually one vacuum pack corn costs 250 yen ($3.20 sin) but right now as it is harvest season, 1 normal corn cost only 100 yen ($1.20). I have learnt to appreciate many fruits and vegetables always available throughout the year back in Singapore. Here many are only cheap or available during their specific season and so you learnt to look forward as each season approaches. 

p.s so far i managed to kill 1 plant each time when S is away for few days. :p of course i did not do it intentionally. Sorry peppermint and cucumber plant. But the cucumber plant always appeared to be in withering condition so i did not pay attention to it.
