千葉野菜 - Fresh Vegetables from Chiba

今日は千葉で農業を始めた（最近水田で蓮根作りを始めた）姉夫婦と姪っ子がご近所の農家の方が作った野菜を持って上京した。夜帰って夕飯にトマトを食べてみると美味しい！！スーパーのトマトとは全然違って、味がしっかりある。これだったら洸希もすっぱい顔しないかも。もっと買えばよかったな・・・と悔やむ。

知らなかったのだけど、かぼちゃは置いておくと甘みが増すらしく、農家の人は採ってすぐは食べないらしい。私も少し置いておこっと。かぼちゃは洸希の大好物。喜ぶかな～

義兄の実家が東京のため、たまに東京に戻る時、野菜を持ってくる。下記は今回のお野菜の値段。との時により持ってくる野菜の種類も値段も違うので、興味ある方はご連絡ください（midori_frog@hotmail.com)。

トマト（大）１個１００円
ミディトマト詰め合わせ１袋３５０円
玉ねぎ２個（大きさによる）１００円
栗かぼちゃ中くらい１個５５０円

My sister, brother in law and my niece came down to Tokyo with fresh vegetables grown in Chiba today.  I had a tomato tonight and how good it tasted!  Very different from ones bought off grocery stores, they taste like nothing compared to the one I had tonight.

My sister, brother in law and niece moved to Chiba few years ago.  My brother in law went to an agriculture school for a year and became a farmer.  He found a land and started growing a kind of root vegetable, lotus, which we Japanese eat.  Now it is growing, he comes down to sell veges other farmers grow time to time.

My sister told me she helps out her husband with farming and that she has become stronger which is a good thing because she can be weak sometimes.

If you live in Tokyo or around Tokyo and are interested in those vegetables, let me know.
