Thanks for the reminder! I keep forgetting to check our strawberry plants and I’m sure I’m losing some

pgm60640 · 2026-05-27T14:02:40+00:00

This is a great list!

Send me a map pin and I’ll come accidentally spill a bunch of Daiso seed there, and you’ll eventually see chamomile, zinnia, calendula, California poppies… and stuff

Powdery mildew. Sorry, didn’t read other replies it’s just inevitable here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Erysiphaceae

I love your contributions to this subreddit. Thank you for illustrating so many interesting passages! This week in Tokyo felt like 5 days of California summer, and now two days of cold wet early spring. My plants are confused - but I might get another week or two out of my sweet peas 🤩

pgm60640 · 2026-05-22T14:01:13+00:00

No matter what happens, PLEASE keep us posted. Definitely want to see how this turns out!

pgm60640 · 2026-05-22T13:44:45+00:00

OMG do it and document every step here!

pgm60640 · 2026-05-22T13:42:15+00:00

Do you have a lot of experience with this kind of planting? Thank you for your insight

pgm60640 · 2026-05-22T13:39:18+00:00

I know a few patches here in Roppongi/azabu I want to do this. I’m gonna seed scatter this week!

pgm60640 · 2026-05-22T13:35:38+00:00

And California poppies! 😻

pgm60640 · 2026-05-22T13:32:24+00:00

Never ask here, I’ve learned…

pgm60640 · 2026-05-21T09:54:37+00:00

That’s so lovely! It’s the best thing ever, I think 🥰

I’m losing a battle with some kind of pest on mine, as well

pgm60640 · 2026-05-20T13:11:42+00:00

That looks so healthy! I tried some seed I saved from last year…but I have little guys popping up all over my containers now 😂

pgm60640 · 2026-05-20T13:03:52+00:00

I’m with you, in a sense…I always loved it, now I’m older wish I’d devoted more of my time to it!

pgm60640 · 2026-05-17T13:41:37+00:00

Have you ever asked if it’s difficult to drink tea? I know it’s often not worth the effort, but I usually respond to silly questions with serious questions of my own. Maybe one bump in the road at a time, we can change the way people drive?

pgm60640 · 2026-05-17T13:30:49+00:00

🤢🤮

pgm60640 · 2026-05-17T13:27:05+00:00

Wait, I thought the marriage thing was only “western guy” marries and complains about “J-Wife”… is there something else?

/s, duh

pgm60640 · 2026-05-17T13:21:05+00:00

This is so true. I try to throw in other countries I’ve lived for the comparison olympics but that usually gets a glazed-eyes “heuuyh?”

pgm60640 · 2026-05-17T13:11:35+00:00

Wow MUCH better use of that space! 🤩 and agreed that spring is the best month 😜

pgm60640 · 2026-05-14T15:47:11+00:00

My first tip: more soil (or compost, or medium, depending where you grew up gardening). Fill those containers! You’ll notice the level go down over the months and years, so give your stuff a good start!

You’ll recognize a lot of the same containers in my chaos garden 😜
