Madison's Garden - UPDATE!/マディソンのガーデン-中間報告!

So it's been about a month and a half for most of our veggies and fruits trees since we planted them... And that means it's time for our update blog!! 

一番最初のマディソンガーデンのポストから約１ヶ月半が経ちました...

なので皆さんに中間報告をしまーす!!

This one we just planted this past weekend and wasn't with us in the previous post... Asian Pear!! When we first bought this tree it was totally naked, no leaves, nothing! but all those leaves started to come out in matter of a few days and not so naked anymore!

この２１世紀と言う梨は先週植えたばかりなので、今回初登場...　数週間前に買って来た時には葉っぱ一枚も付いていなかったこの木が先週一日か二日の間にこんなに葉っぱを出してビックリ!

Just so you can really compare... This is the picture from our first post on our plants...
比べ易い様に最初のポストに載せたアボカドの木の写真です。

 

 Now our avocado tree looks like this!
最近はこんなに大きくなりました!

 

New addition I think? A peach tree:-) 

これも今回初登場、桃の木：）

 

The orange tree has 3 or 4 little green balls right now but it's supposed take a bout a year for them to be ready so we will keep you posted!

このオレンジの木には今３、４個の小さい緑のオレンジが付いているんだけど、それが食べられる様になるのは来年の今頃だそうです。長い!

Our fuji apple tree had flowers about two weeks ago but I noticed last week that pollination didn't seem to go well so we have low hope on getting to taste any this year...

ふじ林檎の木は約２週間前に花が付いてやったーと思っていたんだけど、どうやら受粉がうまくいかなかったみたい...：(

Our grape vine is heading towards death as we can't seem to decide the final planting location yet...

このブドウの木は何処に植えようか迷っている間にちょっと死にかけてるかも...

It may be because of my pruning work I gave to the lemon tree or just the work of fertilizer but right now the tree is covered with green balls!! I guess in Southern California Lemon trees lemons constantly and you will be able to see flowers getting pollinated, small green baby lemons, fully ready lemons all at the same time all year around. I know you can't smell the picture but these flowers smell soooo good:-) I really think talking to the tree really helped though...

私が剪定したお陰か肥料のお陰か今このレモンの木は小さな緑のレモンでいっぱい!!この地域ではレモンの木は年中レモンが成るらしい。だから一本の木に収穫頃のレモンと赤ちゃんレモンとレモンの花が同時に見られるんだって：）そしてこの花がすっごい良い匂いなんだよ...

In these pictures you can really see the baby lemons!

この２枚の写真に赤ちゃんレモン見つかるかな！

Madison's Square Garden looks more filled up now!

そしてマディソンガーデンも前に比べると混んできました!

This blackberry bush has tons of green berries on it but they don't seem to get anywhere... All our berry bushes seems to be struggling a bit... I guess we would just have to wait for Drew and Kate to tell us in a couple of weeks...
このブラックベリーの凄いいっぱい付いているんだけど、あんまり成長している様子がないんです...

Right next to the cherry tomato we've added heirloom tomato and right now they both have green tomatoes on them...
２種類のトマトもとっても元気に育って、今両方とも緑のトマトが付いています...

I planted these corn on the side of the house but I just recently spread them a apart since they needed more space from each other...
トウモロコシは近く植え過ぎたので昨日 植え直し...収穫がとっても楽しみです...

I was so excited to see the baby cucumbers the other day!
キュウリの赤ちゃんを発見！カワイー！

This picture was taken when we first planted...

前回の写真...

A month and a half later they are bigger and we may be seeing some flowers soon.
インゲンも元気に成長しています、もうそろそろ花が出来るようです。

One on the left is our Japanese egg plant...

一番左にあるのが日本のなす...

 

There is at lease one baby egg plant hanging now...
今赤ちゃんなすが一つ成っています...

These were planted as seeds and thriving! Mixed green leaves and ones on the right are radishes!

種から植えたサラダ用のベイビーレタスミックス！そして右側の固まりは赤かぶ！

The watermelons are having a great time! They were so tiny before...

スイカの成長が一番凄いかも...

 

But definitely taking over the big area we reserved for them! Once the vines grow long enough with the baby watermelons we are gonna slowly lead them off the garden and onto the side...
こんなに大きくなりました!つるがどんどん長くなったら外に行ってもらう予定...

Our front lawn though has been the most challenging... It's looking very patchy and I'm constantly pulling out devil's weeds so after we can get rid of big weeds we will probably have to seed the bold area and give it another try:-)

芝生は思った以上に難しい...雑草のせいでなかなか成長が出来ない芝生です。なるべく全部雑草を取った後、ハゲの所に種を植えてやり直しです。

 

Our Ellie Bean doesn't look too different from a year and a half ago... still pretty much hair-less, but beautiful as always...:-)

エリービーンは１年半後未だに髪の毛無し...でもいつも通りとってもカワイイよ...：）
