A very sultry morning after the rains. My neighbour's azalea trees are in full bloom.
3月23日に届いた2本の棗苗のうち、1本は根っこの状態があまりにも悪かったので返品、あとに残った蟠棗は、一節を残して継目から25cmほどに切り詰めてから植え付けました。
注文の本命はこの品種であったこと、この品種を取り扱っているのは国内で1店のみ、などを考慮して賭けに出ました。とにかく生存を確保するために、根っこへの負担は節一個だけに限定しました。気候が暖かくなって複数の節が動き出すと根っこから送られる水分や養分が分散してしまう気がするからです。
Of the two jujube plants that arrived on 23rdh March this year, one of them had virtually no roots at all, and I returned it to the seller. With the one I kept with me, the variety called 'Panzao', I cut it to about 25 cm above the ground leaving me with just one node.
When I placed the order, it was because I wanted this variety. Unfortunately, there is only one shop in Japan that deals with this, so I could not look elsewhere even though I was not really happy with the roots I got. In the end, I took a chance and cut the tree trunk keeping one node only, so that the roots would concentrate on nurturing just this one node when the weather turned warm. Nothing has happened yet but I am waiting patiently.
昨日、今日と雨が降って寒いです。特に今日は久しぶりに居間のホットカーペットをオンにして過ごしたほどです。タイガは外に出してもらえなくて、テレビの前でフテ寝。加齢で2階のケイジまで行くのが億劫になったようで、テレビの前に敷いた毛布の上で寝る毎日です。
It has been raining since yesterday. Today was particularly cold and I had to turn on the electric blanket in the living room. Taiga is not allowed outside on a rainy day and spends most of the day sleeping in front of the TV. Since her legs are not as they used to be, she no longer goes upstairs to her cage in the bedroom.
今朝の城北公園はもう5月のような爽やかさでした。タイガは新鮮な草風呂が嬉しくてたまらない様子。
The air in the park was almost like May with the new leaves on the deciduous trees. Taiga enjoyed rolling over the fresh grass.
今日の夜からは雨の予報なので、公園のあとは早宮地区まで足をのばしてたっぷり朝散歩を楽しみました。
Since it was forecast that it would start raining in the evening, with the rain lasting for the next several days, we prolonged our walk after leaving the park.
