August 23rd – August 27th, 2024 is Autumn – Start of SHOSHO (manageable heat)-40th KOU “Cotton bursts forth.”
The season of 24 SEKKI (Major divisions) has progressed and now have entered SHOSHO (manageable heat). Although the heat of the summer still lingers, it is gradually subsiding. It’s the time when we can feel the beginning of autumn. The 40th KOU tells it’s time when cotton plants burst, open the wrap and the cotton appears.
I planted cotton seeds in the field, it was at the end of May. The seeds were collected last year and put away for over six months. First flowers bloomed at the end of July, and now the wraps are starting to swell nicely.
We have to wait for another month to get cotton after the 40th KOU’s information. Let’s look forward to the fluffy white one (^^♪
