例年、日本では6月半ば~7月半ばが梅雨ですが、2021年、西日本では5月下旬から始まってしまいました。
週末も雨が多く、しだれ梅はすっかり散ってしまい、雑草は伸び伸びと育ち、困ったものです。
けれども、幼苗の梅3本(寒紅梅、南高梅花香実)と柿2本(富有、禅寺丸)は葉を付け、イチジクと枇杷はよく育っています。八重桜も頑張っています。

In Japan, the rainy season is usually from mid-June to mid-July, but in 2021, it started in late May in west Japan.
It rains a lot on weekends, flowers of cherry blossoms and weeping Japanese apricot already disappeared, and weeds grow and grow with warm temperature and humidity, which is a problem.
However, three young apricots (Kan-ko-bai, Nan-ko-baiHanakami) and two persimmons (Fuyu, Zenjimaru) now have leaves, and figs and loquats grow well. Double-flowered Cherry blossoms is also doing well.
