very nice, but two faults!

very nice, but two faults! The indian woman is not carrying wheat, but rather rape or mustard even if she is walking past a wheatfield. Simaliarly, I dobt very much if potatoes are growing on that Japanese roof top garden: the elaves do not look right!

But overall a beatiful series.

Sweet Potatoes

Thanks for your astute observations. The potatoes are a purple, sweet potato variety, as seen in this article about the rooftop garden:

These photos say so much about how to raise food. Please keep photographing farming. I love this.

An Ode to Farming

1. Tokyo, roof top, sweet potato is correct.

2. Farmer harvesting rice in eastern Burkina Faso - rather she is taking out weeds! The crop is yet to put our panicles (eaheads) and fill grain before harvest can begin.

3. Indian woman with wheat on head - rather a bundle of mustard.

4. Farmer in Burkina Faso rides his donkey after cutting his grain - the earheads being carried on the donkey are of pearl millet, a staple and drought resistant crop in all Sahelian countries.
