Here is a video of the beautiful early summer potager flowers. The rainy season has started and I still have a lot of work to do in the garden, but I'm going to do it at my own pace.
美しかった初夏のポタジェの花々を動画にまとめました. 梅雨に入り、まだたくさんの庭仕事がありますが、少しずつマイペースで進めていこうと思います.
ポタジェのお花たち
It was a beautiful, cloudless day this morning and I took a walk in the garden at sunrise. The ornamental kitchen garden (potager) is having a great season right now. The blue flowers, Asperula and Echium vulgare, which I tried to grow in the raised beds for the first time, bloomed very nicely and made a beautiful landscape. Please take a look at the video along with the photos I took this morning.
今朝は雲一つない素晴らしい天気で、日の出の時刻に庭を散策しました. 今、ポタジェは最高の季節を迎えています. 初めてレイズドベッドに育ててみた青い花、アスペルラとエキウムブルガレもとても綺麗い咲いてくれて、美しい景観を作ってくれました. 今朝撮影した写真とともに、動画を是非ご覧ください.
Today I'd like to introduce you to the blue flowers in our garden. Even now, in March, there are a dozen of varieties of blue flowers in bloom. Some are annuals, some are perennials, some are bulbs.
今日は庭の青い花を紹介しましょう. 三月の今の時期でもおよそ十種類あまりの青い花が咲いています. 一年草もあれば多年草、球根植物もあります.
