Maintaining Our Traditional Minka a Former Akiya: Ongoing and Future Projects in Rural Japan

[@RealRuralJapan]

Spending the money to level yard is something you will never regret. You have given yourself countless hours of free time in the future to do other things. Money very well spent Lawrence very cool looking gardens!

Thanks! Hopefully i will keep adding beds kind of like a horse shoe around it

Love seeing your content and all the home improvements you do. I came over your channel after Real Rural Japan recommended you, and love both site's content. Keep up the great work

Wow, that was a very enjoyable video! Looking forward to watching more videos of you doing your magic in the countryside. Your channel was recommended by Real Rural Japan, your Australian neighbor, whose videos I also enjoy.

Everything looks so good! Garden looks fantastic! I love catching up on all your progress, and seeing springtime in your village. Hard to believe that was all covered in vines not that long ago!

[@cocolenchojapan]

I will admit we pretty proud of ourselves!

[@MatsukawaZaraki]

Everything is looking good and progressing fast! It's crazy how fast stuff grows in the spring and summer there.....makes me worried about how much yard work I'm going to have to do in July when I get there hahaha 😅

[@cocolenchojapan]

Yeah hate say you will be busy! Wish I could go up there to help out. Maybe someday I can drive my van 🚐 up there.

Aloha Brah your green hose line kinked - restricting your water pressure flow... just watching admiring your irrigation system.

[@cocolenchojapan]

Hi! Yeah I pulled it too tight so have to fix it. So far my little irrigation system seems to be working fine. Good water pressure…barely open it

[@robertbrewer2190]

Nice little veggie garden. Cilantro and tomatillos..... salsa galore! Do you have any animal pests, gophers, moles, pigs, monkeys??

[@cocolenchojapan]

Thanks! None of those yet, but crows are a pest

[@JamesCovian]

You need some jalapeños in that garden!
