ローズマリー 海の雫 イタリア トスカーナの菜園を想い出す

-
 ローズマリーというのは、ラテン語の 
" ロス（しずく）" と " マリヌス（海）" 、
つまり " 海のしずく " という意味なの。

広大な海と、手の平できえてしまうほどの
小さな雫が名前だなんて、一体どんな優しい方が
名付け親なのでしょうね。

イタリアのトスカーナ地方の片田舎を訪れますとね、
古い石造りの美しいお家の周りには、
このトスカーナブルーがごく当たり前のように、
とても逞しく自生しておりますの。

そこに住む人々は、上品に切り揃えたりは
なさらないのよ。

あえて無造作に茂らせて、心地よい風が吹くたびに
素晴らしい香りがふわりと立ち込める
『生きた緑の壁』として、日々の暮らしに溶け込ませていらっしゃるの。

わたしたちのローズマリートスカーナブルーはマイナス11度の冬も過ごし
挿木で山小屋を縁取ってくれています。

ローズマリーがあなたの庭に育っていらっしゃるのなら、
ローズマリーの香りと一緒にまとえるものをどうぞ。

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.

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...

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.

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.

My lovely parasol Magnolia obovata.

My style of cuttings seems to have been successful.  Their sprouts look like flower buds. New leaves have begun to bloom like a small propeller. I imagined a Magnolia obovata tree flying into the blue sky with a lot of small propellers. Or ... looks like a green burd.  Anyway, they are beautiful. fallen leaves are also beautiful. It will be a thunderstorm soon.  I'm sure all the leaves will bloom after the storm. I'm looking forward to relaxing with my cats, and having teatime in the shade of the leaves of Magnolia obovata. My parasol is Magonolia obovata. They are the best parasols. It's not a chemical fiber.  I really love their leaf.
