Growing Bitter Melon (2011-08-11)

TEPCO and the government encourage the public to grow a "green curtain" this summer to shield the house so as to reduce the temperature inside the house, thus reducing the need to use air-conditioning.  It's all about energy conservation.

I joined the band wagon of making a green curtain not for the reason of saving power, I just love to grow things! 

Two kinds of plants recommended are goya (bitter melon) and trumpet flowers.  I chose the former because we love to eat it and the yellow flowers are so pretty.
