今日は一日中雨で久しぶりに肌寒い日でした。こんなに寒い日でもタイガは、リビングの床よりも冷たい玄関タイルの上のほうが好みのようです。雨のおかげで一日3回の水やり地獄からは解放されて、涼しい空気のなか植物の現状を再確認しました。
It rained all day today and, with the maximum temperature at 24℃, it was the coldest day since spring. Even on such a chilly day, Taiga prefers to lie on the porch tiles instead of sleeping in the living room. Being freed from having to water the plants 3 times a day, I checked the state of plants.
One of the fruits of the tangerine called 'Hinano HIme' had fallen off. Although this is an extra early ripening variety, this fallen fruit does not feel right. This one's outer skin is puffy whereas others on the tree are firm. So, rather than this one being ripe, it was a result of shedding before the whole tree started ripening.
もう10月なので、これから色づくのがまともな実のはずです。
