The bittersweetness and aroma that can only be experienced after enduring the wind and snow. The story of a garland chrysanthemum in the middle of winter, where you can’t keep the pot without tears.

Um … I’m sorry, I’m a crown daisy fairy, my name is Nana. This is the crown daisy that you can see in sukiyaki and hot pot dishes. As the name suggests, it is a member of the chrysanthemum, so it makes flowers bloom, but it is lonely that it is not well known whether it is a simple one, not a luxurious one like a chrysanthemum, but by having the leaves tasted, I’m glad if it helps you. Withstanding the cold of winter and the morning frost, I can also help in the garden in winter when there is little greenery.

Crown daisy “Weekly” cultivation report

11/1 start
Seed planting
nana
Autumn is deepening, and it’s about time the cool breeze blows. My start is the season when other plants bear fruit and decay and die. The seeds may look like “lower anterior teeth”.
11/8
Germination!
nana
Finally, in late autumn, two weeks after sowing, it germinates with the feeling “I’m sorry, I’m sorry.” Futaba has a bean-shaped oval shape, but the true leaves as you can see soon appear. This notched true leaf is the most popular type of middle leaf species.
11/15
Leaves increase!
nana
The leaves grow and increase in number so that they are getting cooler and colder day by day.
11/22
The leaves are big and splendid
nana
The leaves grow to this point in less than a month after planting the seeds. Growth is pretty fast, isn’t it? It is an unnatural, young grass-colored, lonely struggle in the autumn dead field.
11/29
The leaves grow long
nana
The shape of the leaves has been adjusted before December. The number of leaves has increased, and we are now ready for wintering.
12/13
Leaves thick (harvest timing)
nana
Thick. Thick, large leaves and stems. it looks tasty. This is the harvest season, isn’t it? Do you want to go straight to the pot here, or go through the harsh cold to polish the taste and aroma, and finally make the flowers bloom? It’s a thought. Oh, and the leaves tend to grow a lot and become overcrowded, so please pinch them properly.
12/20
The fight against the cold begins
nana
Around the time when the morning and evening chills become severe. I endure with the leaves lying down to the ground. The tips of the leaves wither like chilblains, and I feel painful.
12/27
Fight further cold
nana
Near New Year’s Eve. The situation becomes even more severe when the frost begins to fall in the morning! I can withstand the cold, but … it’s cold. Oh, but this cold is the source of a deeper taste. I am a masochist.

Crown daisy cultivation point

Germination is quick, and harvesting is as fast as about a month. It is strong against the cold, but the leaves die when it hits the frost, so it seems good to harvest it before the frosty season. If it grows until it blooms, it is advisable to tunnel it with non-woven fabric or straw to protect it from the cold.
