The secret story of the birth of peach

A peach flower that blooms to follow the cherry blossoms. In the Kofu Basin, pink carpets spread from the lower elevation to run up the hill in order.
At Asama-en in Ichinomiya-cho, at a height above the basin, the peak of flowering was at the same time as the pollination work. It seems that white peach peach has less pollen and artificial pollination is indispensable.



First, pick flowers that are rich in pollen. It seems to be good for the openness of about seven minutes. Grains attached to the tip of the stamen. There is pollen in this.







Put the picked flowers in a special machine and divide them into petals and flower core parts. Then sift it and take out only the pollen sac containing pollen. It is steady work.









If you put it in a plate and put it in a machine and dry it, you will get yellowish pollen. You put it on a hair-like tool and let it pollinate one flower at a time.
The seasons of flowers are slightly shifted due to the yearly weather and weather. It's a great job to work on farming while identifying it. We are in a state of jealousy that flowers bloom and are beautiful, and we have a hardship that we can not imagine.
Also, this is for us to eat sweet and fresh peach fruits.
I am looking forward to meeting that taste this year.

In search of the thumb princess

When you were a child, what flower did you learn first? I think there are a lot of people who answer "Tulip". I am also one of them.
I guess that's why, when you look at the tulips, let's go back to a child's mind somehow.
In "Herb Garden Trip Journal", 50,000 shares of tulips are in full bloom this year.







And remember, Andersen's fairy tale 'Thumb princess'. It is a story of a little girl born from among tulip flowers. What was the end of that story? I was interested and I found out that I married a prince of flowers and lived happily. It is a kind of story that is suitable for plump and rounded cute flowers.
In Britain, it seems that tulips are called "a fairy's cradle". And Anderson also thought of "Thumb princess" while watching the tulip flower sway.



The thumb princess may be sleeping in the blossoming tulip flowers.
The best time until the end of April.

Open the picture book of spring

A wonderful view as if you got lost in a picture book. It is the small diameter of peach and rape blossoms.





A hare of flowers made like a labyrinth walks out of the bush of rape blossoms, and a wild rabbit pops out to guide you. It is a mysterious place that is likely to cause such a fantasy without thinking.
There is no doubt that it is a great SNS shine spot. The small children were also running around with fun.
The contrast of the blue sky, pink peach flowers and yellow rapeseed is a symbol of spring.



This is a flower garden area that appears only in the spring at "Misaka Farm Farm Grape House". Letters posted to the yellow post in Wonderland reach the important person properly.

pring luxury

Cherry blossoms in full bloom if you look up. And if you look down, the sea of light. How about such a cherry blossom viewing?
Here is Takeda's Cape near Shosenkyo. Famous for trail running courses. It is a bit boring spot for cherry blossom viewing, so it may not go much except local people.
For a limited time, when looking up from all over the city, the top of the mountain will appear white and hazy, and I think, "Oh, this year has also begun."
It is a special place recommended for those who want to enjoy a fantastic spring night quietly instead of enjoying cherry blossoms with a blue sheet.









At the log house style service center, the behavior of warm sweet sake is also available. It was so warm that it still infiltrated the slightly cold night wind.
