ベランダの田んぼが出来上がった! My Own Private Rice Harvest


6月に「楽農体験ツアー」の田植え活動と同時に僕が稲を貰って、アパートのベランダのプランタで稲を育て始めました(当ブログに写真が載せられた)。4ヶ月大事にしていて、やっと収穫しました。量が少ないけど、自分が育てた米を食べるのを非常に楽しみにしています。今ベランダで乾かしているから、まだ一週間くらい待たないといけません。結局どのくらいの米をとれるのかなって楽しみです。たぶんお握り一個だけのかな?でも自分が育てた米だから今までの人生の一番美味しいお握りと期待しています!

As I have posted previously on this blog I started growing my own private rice field on the balcony of my apartment back in June when I received some rice sprouts after taking part in the Agricultural Experience Tour. After looking after them for four months I was finally able to harvest. The volume of rice is pretty low, but I am really looking forward to eating rice that I grew myself. I cut the rice and now it is drying out on my balcony so I will have to wait about a week before I can actually eat it. I am wondering exactly how much actual rice I will get once I finish. Maybe only enough for one rice ball? But because it was rice I grew I expect it to be the best rice ball I have ever eaten in my life!
