November 12th – November 16th is Winter –RITTO (Beginning of winter)-56th KOU “Land starts to freeze”
The 56th KOU description sounds so winter! Especially, as NAGANO city is in a basin surrounded by high mountains, from now on “Radiational cooling” will become more likely to occur. And land surface will become colder and colder.
The first frost occurred on the 8th, and the first snow fell on the surrounding high mountains (SHIGA HEIGHTS, Mt. IIZUNA, Mt. TAKATSUMA, etc.).
Although it was a bit late, I harvested taro, which should have been done before the first frost. And I covered some vegetable with frost protection net, such as spinach, Chinese cabbage and others they still grow.
It was a lot of work, even though it was just a tiny kitchen garden. I managed to finish it while it was still warm during the day (^^♪
