The rice planting season has come. About the half of the rice fields around my house were plowed and filled with water and in some fields rice has already been planted.
We plant rice earlier and earlier every year, I think. In my childhood we planted rice in June and we did during consecutive holidays early in May ten years ago or so and now we do in April.
In Shikoku there comes some typhoons in autumn every year and it is good that we plant early and we harvest crop early. But I wonder if it is too early to do so. (Though there are also the area that they plant rice in March in Shikoku.)
