when planted together.\u003cbr\u003e Kohlrabi, which was harvested late due to greed to grow more, has hard cores and is inedible.\u003cbr\u003e The tomatoes that were watered every day because they

with marigold flowers, making kimchi with turnips, and cutting various types of onions.\u003cbr\u003e The artist's detailed drawings help us better understand the characteristics of the 28 crops.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003eKwon Mi-yang's \"Thinking of Him in the Post Office Garden\" is not a simple essay on life, but a very special book that makes us reflect on the
