Urban Agriculture, continued again

Now the gardens by my house are drying out rice in front of them on the streets where a few weeks ago there were gochu peppers. There aren't any rice paddies in my neighborhood, so I'm not sure where the rice came from, maybe across the major street nearby. In any case, there was a lot of it:




While I see a lot of small garden plots on my way to work, that's nothing compared to what I see on my bike ride to Hanwha (the chemical engineers I teach early in the morning). I live at the outskirts of town (yes, those twenty-five story apartments are the put up even at the edges of Korean cities), and on my way to Hanwha I essentially pass out of the city and into actual farms. Here too, though, every space is utilized, even the triangles of land between the exit ramp and a highway:

(Also, there are two of these great posters on my way:)



Even this drainage ditch is growing some sort of squash:



One of the farms is also a tree nursery:














I doubt the rice in front of my apartment came all the way from these paddies:


Update: Here is more rice drying, this time actually near rice paddies and taking up sidewalks on a bridge and even blocking an entire road:
