             The biggest growing area in Hita city, there was a beginning of a man - made pollinating operation of a cultivated house [for breeding]. At the thought of the house on the day that the temperature has risen up since the early summer it was the time for breeding for the white flowers that has already bloomed, the farmhouses were pursued by the pollinating operation

               Itou Kou – san (60) the woman of this summer garden house that was held on 18th, with 45 areas for breeding flowers she informed that it was counted as the third of the pollinating operation in this year. The farmhouse and some people came to join and made a pollen flowers, then the productions from the pollinated pistil came out.

             Due to the severe winter period that was cold in this year, when compared with the last year, it was the decreasing level of blooming ability, on this weekend the meeting of the pollinating operation will be held. On the first ten days of April they will thin out superfluous fruit, and in the middle ten days of July the shipment will begin.

              The domination of the increasing of fuel coast influent to Fukuoka for example, the heat was searching to be used in the heating house this year. Itou – san said with disappointed feeling that [the shipping of the heating house is going to be in slowly progress for the house in Hita city that could not find the heat the shipment has become important, means that there is a possibility of these decreasing  productions value in the future].

Comment: This news makes me realize that it is the time for looking back to the past, what we have done to the nature and environment. We can not reject that we have to lean on plants – do the role as the producer that we used to study in the science class – that give us the element needs, for human like us just take the benefit from them and damage the earth ,now won’t you think that all things we have done serve us right…

A little bit more that I want to say is not only growing plants but also growing the consciousness in people mind which is comes from inside that  should be the best way of growing the future of the earth.
