Cleaning the balcony of the apartment with a pressure washer and preparing for the fall sowing seeds
I went to a large home improvement store to prepare for my fall balcony garden.
This store is one of the largest home improvement stores in the metropolitan area, and is a famous store that is sometimes featured on television.
They had a huge variety of products, and I was so excited to see so many things I'd never seen before!
On the way home, my child begged me to use the freshly-squeezed orange juice vending machine, so we did.
I recently bought a pressure washer that runs on a rechargeable battery.
I bought the Karcher OC 5 handy model.
However, it takes 5.5 hours to charge, and there were no spare batteries available for sale.
I replaced my old one with a Makita pressure washer MHW180DZ, which has spare batteries.
Although it is large and heavy, I was glad to choose Makita's product as it has a replaceable battery and a short charging time.
Because I can clean nonstop in a limited amount of time.
The operation sound is a little loud.
And it's heavy and makes your arms tired.
The goldfish I started raising in August have grown quite a bit.
They were born this spring and is already about 5cm long.
They now eat the food without running away even when I'm right in front of them.
It seems that feeding them once a day is not enough, so they also eat the aquatic plants in the tank.
The chili pepper grew well this year.
As for bell peppers and shishito peppers, we've only been able to harvest a few so far because it's been too hot.
Recently, the weather has finally cooled down and small fruits are beginning to appear, but unfortunately the season is now over.
I went to home improvement again to prepare for my autumn balcony vegetable garden.
I bought some flower pots.
I choose ceramic pots because without weight they would not be able to withstand the strong winds that blow on my balcony.
It's fun just to look at the products at a home improvement store.
I also bought some seeds to plant in the fall.
These are all leafy vegetables that can be grown on my balcony.
It's gotten much cooler now that we're in October, but it still gets up to 27 degrees during the day.
The seeds that were planted sprouted quickly and are growing well.
This fall, my balcony vegetable garden will be vibrant with the addition of new vegetables like mizuna, komatsuna, red sorrel, and radish, alongside the oregano, chives, and parsley I've been growing.
