In our park, we attempt to ensure better quality and sugar content by using a root proof water-permeable sheet, keeping the amount of the soil low, and using a drip irrigation to adjust moisture, so that safety and security satisfy our customers.
This is the growing conditions of melons 10 days after planting.
These are melons about 25 days after planting.

【The photo on the left】We make muskmelons produce only one fruit on each tree.
We string them as they became heavy. We cannot see mesh patterns yet.
【The photo on the right】Netting (mesh patterns) starts developing in this period.
The exterior becomes hard when it matures a certain point. However, the interior flesh is getting
larger and the rind cracks. These cracks form a scab to make netting patterns.
Netting patterns are getting finer.
These are melons just before harvesting.
(55 days to 60 days after pollination)
This is the growing conditions of strawberries 7days after planting.
Thanks to our elevated cultivation, we work comfortably

We approach to the utmost decrease in pesticides in around November by bringing natural enemies in.
What are natural enemies?
It is to prevent harmful insects by using insects that live on harmful insects and microbes.
In our park, we are using mites called "Spical" and "Spidex" that eat mites, and "Aphipar" that infest aphids.
This photo is a strawberry flower.
The photo in the middle shows the beginning of bearing fruit.
They are pollinated by honeybees.
We make "Sachinoka" to produce big fruit by limiting the number of fruit seven to ten.
We calculate that they will taste very good around the time of strawberry picking because they are fully ripened by letting extra few days go by.
In addition, we harvest the rest in every 4~5 days so as not to over mature.
This is the growing conditions of watermelons 7 days after planting.
