Crow-Dipper Growing Hange Shouzu, one of the "72 climates" of the solar year. This one corresponds to about Jul. 2 - Jul. 6, and translates more colloquially as "the 11th day after summer solstice" or "the last seed-sowing day". It symbolizes midsummer with the growth of crow-dipper (Pinellia ternata), which is called bàn xià ("half-summer") in Chinese..... Look, knock it off with the creepy pranks, okay!A day you shouldn't pick vegetables?Yeah, there's a poisonous air to this day or some such.And youkai come out on the 11th day after solstice, so any farmwork's out of the question......but in the end, nothing happened.Huh?Nnnh, this Conandron looks tasty...Conandron ramondioides, no English common name available. The Japanese name literally translates as "rock tobacco".Say wha'? Who told you that? First I've heard.They're probably just minor countryside youkai, anyway.Well, come on over if you can make it.There's mint growing all over Hijiri's home vegetable garden.Th-...that's not good, Nue-chan!
