Look at that tomato plants have been planted. I have been planting crops in pots in front of the house. Looks hanging fruit! Imagine if every house could familiarize themselves with planting fruit trees or whatever. Certainly would look cool, green and refreshing. Various plants and planting fruit we can if only in a pot, but it definitely means a lot. We often see many people let their vacant land without any planting.

Surely we too will feel the inconvenience.
