The shrub roses by the sleeper steps, which we pruned at the beginning of September, have now started to flower beautifully. Thanks to these roses, which have withstood the harsh summer and strong typhoon winds, new branches are growing and blooming.
This year there are fewer bud-eating pests and more flowers than usual. The autumn bud-eating pests in our garden are a grasshopper species called Holochlora japonica and the larvae of a small butterfly called the Lycaenidae. Recent efforts to exterminate these seem to have paid off.
九月の初めに剪定した枕木の階段脇の木立性バラたちが、今綺麗に花を咲かせ始めました. 厳しい夏や台風の強風にも耐えて、新しい枝を伸ばして咲くバラたちに感謝です.
今年は蕾を食べる害虫も少なく例年より花がたくさんです. 我が家の庭で秋に蕾を食べる害虫は、クダマキモドキというバッタの仲間とシジミチョウという小さな蝶の幼虫です. 最近はこれらの駆除に努めてきた成果がでたようです.
