Tokyo isn’t overly blessed with greenery, let alone gardens, so those who are keen to have one of the latter often have to make do with whatever meagre amount of land they (may) have available.
Even then, however, it’s not plain sailing. Far from it in fact. As not only is it difficult to find plants that will grow in quite dark and cramped conditions, but maintaining those that actually do thrive can sometimes prove even more problematic.

Hilarious! Gardening even I could get used to!!
Lee says
Yeah, he could enjoy a nice cup of tea and some music while gardening. Perfect really!

All he would need is an elbow joint in there somewhere, and he could do it from his bed (with the aid of a mirror). It just goes to show how creative people are – and how they find the simplest, most direct solutions to their problems.
Lee says
Yes, he obviously wanted a plant, and so worked out how to both plant and trim it. Good on him.

Excellent )) How did he manage to plant it there?
Lee says
There was a tiny space by the front of the house if I remember correctly, and it was planted there.

This is so interesting picture!!
I had a good laugh :). Maybe the tree was too tall so he had to trim it from his room.
By the way, is there any one in the reflection of the mirror? Look like someone in blue.
Lee says
Glad to shear it Winnie!
Nah, I don’t think so. A bike possibly? Pretty sure it’s not a person.

I knew it; another bicycle photo :o) He’s certainly a ‘cut above’ the average gardener though! :o)

He’s really clipping his neighbor’s high-speed Internet connection.
