Tulip bud.

Tulip bud. チューリップの蕾は終霜を待っているかのようです。

今朝もマイナス2°C だった。
日中は野良仕事しているとタンクトップになるほどあたたかな日が続き、
水仙は蕾が一旦ほころびだすと、咲くのが早いから
庭中の花のほとんどを、野良作業で行き来するたびみるんだけれど、
咲きそうでなかなか咲かないチューリップ。

当たらない週間天気予報をなぜか毎日たよりに...
予報が外れまくって腹がたってもなぜか何度も...
作業を臨機応変にこなし、予定を瞬時にくみなおし...
まだ早朝に庭が凍てつきそうな予報。
それにより、土を耕しては植え替えや、挿し木や
種まきした後の養生で待ちの状態。

日中の温度が上がり焦り右往左往したり。
いくつかすでに種を蒔いたけれど、正直早まったと思う。
朝の寒い日が続くから夜の保温作業が...
それでも芽吹いて元気に成長してくれている姿は目の保養になる。

引っ越してきて初めての春に、
４月に霜が降りることをこの地の農家さんに教えてもらい、遅霜を知った。
遅霜について調べていたら、初霜にたいし、終霜を知った。

チューリップの蕾は、おそらく終霜の日を感じて、
咲くタイミングを待っているかのように
春の強い風の中でも葉っぱをピンっとしている。
体操の選手が宙返りをしてポーズを決めているみたい。
春に着地している。
あとは咲くだけ。

What’s the difference between Beans and Peas?

  For most of my life, I didn't know the difference between peas and beans. And I don't know why I haven't looked it up for so long today. Do you know about that surely?   Oh, you don't know. Dig into about that.  The process of knowing is more meaningful than the result.

Gardening for Muscari.

What I have been caring about since last fall. Recently, I've finally started various things and it's going well as I think. So, I replanted Muscari that I planted in a basket about 2 years ago. I planted Muscari next to the Hydrangea that was stock split yesterday. Hydrangea made shade in the hot summer and protect the Muscari from the hot summer sunshine.

Sprouts propagated from cuttings of Hydrangea.

 I've been thinking about it for a long time, but I didn't try to do it.  Division, layering, and transplanting hydrangea, gummy candies, figs, etc.  Division, layering, and transplanting hydrangea, gummy candies, figs, etc. But I'm thinking of doing it soon. I'm sure I'll do it. I feel like I'm predicting an eruption in myself. Today I started breeding hydrangea and rosemary like such an approach run. I feel gardening is a little difficult to do gardening in April. I mean early Spring on the mountaintop. Frost and hail can fall even in April, so I don't rush into gardening.  It's about 20 degrees during the day and I'm restless without gardening when the sun is shining, but I have to wait for the minimum temperature to rise further. Look at the thermometer and don't rush, Yumiko.

春の訪れ。

Life is like a perennial plant. I have been living in a vegetable garden here for the sixth year, and I felt that way several times. There are seasons such as rainy season, snow, storm, and summer in my heart. Depending on the season, it endures, buds, grows leaves, and leaves fall. Blooming ... the season of emotions. If you look at the earth from space, it will be blue and beautiful. Actually, there are many sad events where tears and blood flow. The inside and the heart of a person are like that. It looks calm from a distance, but I'm sure it's because of a chance to say Hi.  I like to be alone. But usually, people feel lonely so. There is a reason why all leaves fall in before the winter comes. They were very beautiful blue in the summer... but they fall. It's like putting a blanket on the roots under the soil to pass the winter with you. That looks so sad or looks like dead. But it's protection for themselves. They don't easily leave you alone. So...

A generation that is inherited as the season changes.

The rain of spring blessings continued for almost 24 hours, gaining momentum. The flowers of the Crocs family fell down, and the blessings of this rain were transmitted to the bulbs. In this way, it leads to tomorrow and their future of them.  A generation that is inherited as the season changes. Humans sometimes feel lonely about that. The daffodil family began to bloom in the rain by their side. I don't sympathize with the Crocus family who worked hard until the end, but I wish I had an umbrella. Learn and utilize with respect. Thank you a lot of joy for my days.

Blown by the spring breeze.

I harvested Daikon for dinner tonight and preparing for April.  It wasn't windy, not too warm. I don't want to stay indoors on a day like today because the spring breeze feels good. It's hard to believe it's already 3 months past from New year... I feel like that every year.  Time has passed too quickly...I say that every day.  But I am not wasting any moment. I keep moving like a Ninja. But for me 24 hours a day is not enough. The tulip bulbs I planted last fall are just as I drew on my note. I wanted to coordinate the gray of the bucket of brocante, the orange of tulips, and the green of the Tulip leaves. It can be realized by drawing a picture.
