春の息吹を表現する庭の植物たち facebookより

　昨日、ビワの木に実が生ってることが分かりました。未だ植えて３年ですが、早くも収穫できそうです。品種名は「長崎クイーン」です。長崎県はビワの産地で有名で、美味しいビワであることを期待したい。

Yesterday, I found that fruits are growing in the loquat tree. It is three years since I planted it, but I hope to harvest this year earlier than I had expected. The kind name is "Nagasaki Queen". Nagasaki prefecture is famous for the production area of loquat, and I would like to expect it to be delicious loquat.

　今年は早春から「コデマリ」に水を与えたらすごく成長しました。ご覧のように花も豪華に咲いて、女王の雰囲気です。これはおよそ１００年前に亡父が植えたもので、私が現在の地に移植しました。人生は短し、樹木の生命は長し。

Since early spring this year I gave a lot of water for "Kodemari" so it is growing. As you can see, the flowers bloom gorgeously, as if it is the atmosphere of queen. This was planted by my late father about 100 years ago and I transplanted it to the present place 50 years ago. Life is short, life of tree is long.
