New additions to the garden

It was quite tragic. Over the last eight weeks, a huge amount of weeds built up in my garden and my tomatoes had the nerve to die on me. But thanks to Saeki-kun, I managed to replace them with some lovely begonias, in a shade I haven't seen before.

And does anyone know how to keep birds away from plants without hurting them? Most of the fruits on my strawberry plants were damaged by birds, though the plant itself still survives.

I am on a quest to try and convince Sanada to get one of these, but he is quite stubbornly traditional and refuses to give in, despite me bribing him with ginseng oolong tea.

And also, I got a sponsor request by Nike, so I'll be jetting off to America in a week to take part in a photo shoot and formalise the contract with them. It should be pretty fun. I believe that Maria Sharapova, Roger Federer, Rafael Nadal and Serena Williams are all sponsored by Nike as well, so I'll be doing a photoshoot with them, most likely.

I always do, when I unbury myself from my schoolwork. Just one time, promise.

I've never had a garden, but one of the other shelter volunteers says it keeps birds off of her cherry tree until she can pick the fruit. Hopefully it'll help you too!

Don't overwork yourself! I'd hate to see my protegé die from schoolwork, of all things. But it's good to see that you found your passion. Just have some fun too. I had a suspicion that one letter was from you. You can just send me an email, you know.

Well, it seems to be working so far ^_^. I'll see how my garden holds up after Wimbledon.

I won't die, promise. Pochi wouldn't let me. ^_^ You need to come meet him, you know. Well, yeah, but letters are more permanent, you know?

Okay, cool!

Pochi is your dog, right? I shall come and meet him when I'm back in Tokyo again after Wimbledon. Ahh, true. But I would hardly delete emails from my classmates and friends.

Okay! Just... don't let him sit on you, okay? He's a Great Dane, not a lap dog, no matter what he thinks. >.>
