初めての草刈り / First time mowing

近所の方に教えて頂いて、初めての草刈りをしました。
セイヨウタンポポが一面に広がって、綺麗と言えば綺麗ですが、綿毛を飛ばしてどんどん増えていき、他の植物の妨げになっています。
根が深くて抜けず、草刈り機で刈り取ったら、折れた花が数時間後には地面の上で綿毛となって子孫を残そうとします。恐るべき生命力!
初めての草刈りなので楽しめましたが、これから大変!!!と思うようになるのかなぁ。

We mowed the grass for the first time after being taught by a neighbor. Dandelion spreads all over, and it is beautiful to say that it is beautiful, but their fluffy seeds are steadily flown and hindering other plants. The roots are so deep that they cannot be removed, and when they are cut with a mower, the broken flowers become fluffy on the ground after a few hours and try to leave offspring. Awesome vitality!
It was our first time to mow the grass, so we enjoyed it, but will we feel hard work in the future??? We will see the weeds vitality in summer.
