世界中が高温な気象のために葉物野菜が不足しているそうです。白菜もその一つです。
今年は白菜を畑に定植できずにいます。今週末には植える予定です。
「白菜」「つぼみ菜」をうえて、「玉葱」「葱」の種をまいてと、、週末は忙しくなりそうです。どこまでできるやらこの老いた体は、、
猛暑
拈華微笑 I may not fully grasp the truth that Mahākāśyapa realized, but I still wish to emulate his smile. This is a story from the time when Shakyamuni Buddha delivered a sermon on Vulture Peak. It is said that Shakyamuni, without saying a word, picked up a lotus flower and gently showed it to the assembly. While the disciples could not grasp his meaning, only Mahākāśyapa understood Shakyamuni's intention and smiled gently. Mahākāśyapa adhered to strict precepts regarding clothing, food, and shelter, leading a simple life. Specifically, he wore coarse robes, ate only food received through begging, and practiced asceticism, wandering without a fixed abode. Though I cannot live like Mahākāśyapa, I have decided to grow vegetables instead, in place of his gentle smile and simple way of life.
