I was on a business trip to Ireland for three weeks, so my wife managed the garden while I was away.
The sun's energy in summer is immense, and the carbon from CO2 absorbed through photosynthesis is converted into cell tissue, causing plants to grow rapidly.
They grow on their own even if left unattended (though they are also heavily eaten by insects).
The cucumbers had lost their vigor, so I reluctantly gave up on them and said goodbye.
The green beans also said goodbye.
The corn, which gets ravaged by masked palm civets every year, was beautifully devoured again this year.
I had put up a net and checked on it. I heard there was nothing there three days ago.
I only salvaged some untouched, immature ears and some forgotten young corn.
We had a tempura party, including a large amount of crab sticks that I had bought at the market and left frozen for a while.
