"Warabi" an edible wild planta - it was too late to collect them.

  In the morning, I went alone to Furusato Noen, and transplanted soy bean seedlings. And in the afternoon, I went with Ayao to the western suburbs to collect 'warabi' or a kind of bracken, an edible wild plant. We parked at a gate to a part of the land developed for the industrial estate which used to be farmland, and went through bushes to where we collected warabi every summer. But warabi had grown big and hard to eat. It was too late, at least two weeks late. We collected some butterbur, and some wild flowers, instead, and came home.
