RETURNING TO EARTH — Records of agricultural support activities
In this agricultural support, in addition to caring for peaches and Shine Muscat, we also checked the growth of rice that was planted last month.
For the peach ``Yumemizuki'', an original variety from Yamanashi, the bags that protect the fruit from pests and diseases are removed one by one.
By removing the bag and exposing it to light, the color will gradually change.
This process, which approaches harvest, is an important milestone in achieving both aesthetic beauty and quality.
At Shine Muscat, we perform bagging and thinning to distribute the limited nutrients to each grain.
This delicate work greatly affects the grain size, sugar content, and overall balance of the bunches, which in turn determines the quality.
In the rice field, we checked the growth of the rice planted last month.
Despite being affected by the natural environment such as wind and water, the plants seemed to be firmly rooted and growing smoothly.
The accumulation of each step gradually leads to fruition.
Being exposed to the process gave me an opportunity to reaffirm the meaning of putting in the work and the value of taking time.
