In September, mornings and evenings are sometimes a few degrees cooler than in mid-summer, but daytime highs are still around 35°C, almost the same as in mid-summer. Some plants did not survive the hot summer and have died, but the peppers in the potager are now brightly coloured and beautiful. Asparagus branches have been killed or broken by pests and typhoon-force winds, and there are fewer branches and leaves, but many new shoots are growing. I will use some of them for food and let the rest grow more branches and leaves to store nutrients.
九月に入って朝晩が２，３度温度が真夏より低い日もありますが、日中の最高気温は相変わらず35℃前後と真夏とほとんど変わりません。植物によっては暑い夏を乗り切れずに枯れてしまったものもありますが、ポタジェでは今、唐辛子が鮮やかに色づいて綺麗です。アスパラガスは害虫や台風の強風などで枝が枯れたり折れたりして、枝葉が少なくなっていますが、新芽がたくさん伸びてきています。一部は食用にして、あとは枝葉を増やして栄養を蓄えさせようと思います。
