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.

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.
