    Hi @Dora We'll jump in here with an answer to your question, although the blog post you might be referring to was sent in by @Saitama . Maybe they have their own thoughts on this. From the schedule on the farm's homepage it looks like the following .. いちご / strawberries - until mid-June メロン / melon - June and July すいか / water melon - mid-May until end of June ぶどう / grapes - mid-July to mid-September Hope this helps! *For others reading this .. The original post from @Saitama is at this link ... https://www.city-cost.com/blogs/Saitama/wm1aw-living_food_chiba Wada Farm homepage http://wadanouen.com/index.html

How well does your home country insulate homes compared to here?

One thing I struggle with is the lack of insulation in Japanese homes, with summers often feeling like you're living in a sauna and winters feeling like outside is the same temperature as inside. In saying that, my home country isn't fab with insulation either. They're still very much a nation of single paned windows and minimal stuff in the walls to regulate temperature well. Does your home country do insulation well compared to here?

Do you wear kimono? When and where?

In what environments have you worn kimono, hakama, or other traditional clothing? My only kimono experience is Heian period garb - basket hat, veil, and hakama - at a regional festival. I'm curious about daily kimono wear. Have you found a community or school that trains you in kimono wear? How much time do you dedicate to dressing?
