昨日は久しぶりに畑仕事を手伝った。
野生の草花（別名雑草）が、春の日を浴びて我がもの顔で畑を覆っていた。
今のうちに対処しないと大変なことになる、というので、草取りを少し頑張った。
いくら手をかけても育たないものがある一方、ほっとけばジャングルを構成しかねない植物もある。
その多くは外来で、棘があるものも珍しくなく、繁殖率が半端ない。
どこの家も農作業の担い手は足りず、ウチだけ対処しても効果は大して望めない。
野菜も買った方がよっぽど楽、だけれど、まあ、母がやる気のあるうちは付き合うか。
Workin’ Hardエプロンをつければ、気分も爽快。
ウグイスだって讃えてくれる。
収穫した玉ねぎは南蛮漬けでたっぷりいただいた。
ありがとう、地球！
Yesterday I helped out with the field work for the first time in a while.
Wild flowers (or weeds) were soaking up the spring sun and covering the field with a look of their own.
I thought it would be a big problem if I didn't deal with it now, so I did a little bit of weeding.
While there are some plants that will not grow no matter how much effort we put into them, there are also plants that could form a jungle if left alone.
Many of them are exotic, some with spines are not uncommon, and their reproduction rate is extremely high.
Every household lacks enough people to carry out agricultural work, so even if we deal with the problem on our own, we cannot expect any results.
It would be much easier to buy some vegetables, but as long as my mother is motivated, I guess I'll go with her.
Feel refreshed with the Workin’ Hard apron.
Even the warblers praise me.
We enjoyed plenty of the harvested onions with Nanban pickles.
Thank you, Earth!
