Dokudami - rainbow plant （fish plant）

Dokudami leaves are growing thickly in my mom's garden. Every year at this time, it produces many leaves and lovely white flowers. My aunt had her legs swollen, so my mom planted dokudami in her garden, and it has been multiplying and now it has grown beyond the garden and even into the parking lot. I am amazed at its fertility, but every year my mom pick the leaves and roast them to make dokudami tea, which is delicious to consume to cure swollen legs.

オカンの庭にドクダミの葉っぱが繁ってきた。毎年、この時期にたくさんの葉を繁らせかわいらしい白い花を咲かせる。叔母さんが脚が浮腫むと言うことで、オカンが庭に植えたドクダミがどんどんと増えて、今では庭を越えて駐車場までにも増えている。その繁殖力にはびっくりするけど、毎年、葉っぱを摘んで煎じてドクダミ茶を作ると美味しく消費できます。

Wild berries

Around 4:00 p.m., when the sun begins to tilt slightly to the west, sparrows, chickadees, and other birds begin to gather in my Okan's garden. At this time of the year, raspberries and wild berries are beginning to bear fruit, and many beautiful amber-colored berries are starting to appear. These sweet and tasty berries are well known to the birds, and when we go to pick them, they have usually already been eaten by the birds and there is nothing left 😆.

木苺もきれいな花が咲き、その後、小さなベリーが実り始めている。16時頃、太陽が少し西に傾き始めた頃、スズメやヒヨドリ等がオカンの庭に集まり始める。この時期、木苺が実り始め、琥珀色のきれいな実をたくさんつけ始めている。甘くて美味しいこの木の実は鳥たちもよく知っていて、木の実を摘みに行くと、だいたい既に鳥たちに食べられていて、何も残っていません😆

Marguerite

All the peonies have finished blooming and all the beautiful purple flowers have fallen. It will be another year before we see those beautiful flowers again. The small marguerites were in full bloom, but now that they have finished blooming, they are producing many seeds. My husband bought one marguerite plant, but it seems to be growing more and more with seeds, so I am looking forward to seeing its future.

シャクヤクは全て花が終わり、紫色のきれいな花は全て散りました。あの綺麗な花を見るのはまた一年先になります。小さなマーガレットの花が満開でしたが、そのマーガレットの花も終わり、よく見ると種をたくさんつけています。オカンが一株だけ買ってきたマーガレットですが、そのマーガレットも種でどんどん増えているようで今後が楽しみです。

Hydrangeas

The hydrangeas have really started to bloom beautifully. They are starting to bloom more and more beautifully, and I am hoping that they will start to bloom especially beautifully during the rainy season next month.

アジサイは本当にきれいに咲き始めました。どんどん綺麗な花を咲かせ始め、来月の梅雨の時期は特にきれいに花が咲き始めると嬉しいなと思っています。
