Took my son banana picking at Kintarō Farm near Odawara. It was a lot of fun!

They grow Gros Michel bananas, which are generally hard to get, but are better tasting than the usual Cavendish banana you get at the supermarket. The story of how they got their operation up and going was also pretty interesting.

We got to try bananas of varying ripeness, banana juice, and banana ice cream.

I haven't been strawberry picking since I was a very small kid, but I thought about it while driving today, no idea why. Hope you enjoy the berry nice pun (even though strawberries aren't actually berries)!

The 2025 20-25 Challenge.

This year let’s get better at something by finding a little practice time most days, in my case drawing. - Do your activity for at least 25 minutes, at least 25 days per month.
- Use the hashtag #20252025Challenge on social media etc to track your progress
- Also use the hashtag to cheer on others.

That’s about it!

Have fun with your activities, whatever they may be!
