The herb beds are lively in May. The pink flowers of rose geraniums are in profusion, accented by the bright red flowers of cherry sage and the delicate flowers of chamomile give a soft impression to the garden. Pruning is needed before the onset of the rainy season.
五月のハーブ畑は賑やかです。ローズゼラニウムのピンクの花が沢山さいてきて、チェリーセージの真っ赤な花がアクセントになり、カモミールの繊細な花が庭に軟らかい印象を与えてくれます。梅雨入り前には剪定が必要です。
The pink rose on the brick wall is Gertrude Jekyll, which blooms a little earlier than the other roses. This year it had lots of buds and we were looking forward to it flowering, and when it did, it was a wonderful view with more beautiful flowers than ever before.
レンガ塀のピンクのバラはガートルードジェキルで、他のバラより少し早めに開花します。今年はたくさんの蕾がついて、花が咲くのが楽しみでしたが、咲いてみると例年になくたくさんの美しい花で素晴らしい眺めになりました。
Potatoes have started to flower in a raised bed with the standard rose in the potager. They are long, slender and overgrown, probably because they were planted together with snap peas, but they have been propped up to prevent them from falling over. Harvest is scheduled for the second half of June.
In the raised bed after the onions were harvested, we planted dwarf mini-tomato seedlings, which were raised from seeds sown at the end of February. A few flowers have already bloomed and some of the seedlings have small fruits. Tomato ring supports were set up to support the branches and leaves.
ポタジェではスタンダード仕立てのバラの咲くレイズドベッドでジャガイモの花が咲き始めました。スナップエンドウと一緒に植えていたせいか、細長く徒長気味ですが、支柱をして倒れないようにしています。収穫は六月後半を予定しています。
玉ねぎを収穫したあとのレイズドベッドには、種を2月末に撒いて育てた矮性ミニトマトの苗を植え付けました。すでに花が少し咲いていて、一部の苗には小さな実もついています。行燈仕立ての支柱を設置して枝葉を支える予定です。
Last night, rain with strong winds scattered many petals of Angela, the pink rose on the arch. The pink petals on the ground look very beautiful.
There are a few buds of Angela and it looks like we will be able to enjoy them for a while longer.
昨夜、強い風を伴う雨が降って、アーチのピンクのバラ、アンジェラの花びらが沢山散りました。地面に落ちたピンクの花びらがとても綺麗です。
アンジェラは少し蕾もあって、もうしばらく楽しめそうです。
The roses on the sleeper steps and at the white fence are just starting to come into their own. The branches of the roses that were in full bloom on Sunday have been weeping under the weight of the rain.
バラは中央階段や白いフェンスのところのバラたちはこれからが本番です。日曜日の雨で満開だったバラたちの枝は雨の重みでしだれています。
Today was the first day of the open garden. The weather was pleasant, sunny and cloudy with light winds. This year we were able to welcome many visitors to the garden, although we had to hold back on publicity in advance. Thank you very much for coming out.
Unfortunately, rain is forecast for tomorrow, but we hope you will visit the garden again.
今日はオープンガーデンの一日目でした。晴れのち曇りで風も弱く、過ごしやすい天気でした。今年は事前の広報活動も控え気味でしたが、多くの来園者をお迎えできました。お出でいただいて本当にありがとうございました。
明日は残念ながら雨の予報ですが、またの機会に是非ご来園下さい。

Tomorrow and the day after are open gardens. We made preparations for this today.

The pink and orange roses on the brick wall are now in full bloom in the garden, as are the pink roses on the arch. They will both be at their best in the next few days.
The roses on the sleeper steps and white fence are just starting to flower.

Please note that the central flower bed has not yet been neatly cleared after the removal work.
明日と明後日はオープンガーデンです。今日、その準備をしました。
お天気は明日は晴れのち曇り、明後日は終日雨の予報です。
今、庭ではレンガ塀のピンクのバラとオレンジのバラが満開で、アーチのピンクのバラも満開になりました。どちらも見ごろはあと数日という所です。
枕木の階段や白いフェンスのバラはこれから開花です。
白いつるバラは満開に近づいています。
中央花壇の撤去工事のあとが、まだ綺麗に整地されていませんのでご注意下さい。
