Another story: Beside the cherry tomatoes.

Around the time the cherry tomatoes on the balcony started to bear fruit,

Actually, a new sprout had popped its head out right next to them 🌱 ^ ^

What kind of sprout do you think it is? 🌱

Right beside where the tomatoes are growing so well, look.

It's spreading its cute leaves energetically, as if to say, 'Look, look!' 😆

After the primrose next to it withered, leaving only soil, and since half of it had a miniature rose blooming, I was watering it, and then,

before I knew it, a mysterious plant appeared.

Each of them received the tomato fertilizer together,
and they grew up healthy ^ ^
The plant is probably a dandelion.
A while after my second son asked, 'If I plant a dandelion, will it bloom?', it sprouted. I wondered what kind of sprout it was—a weed? I decided to water it for now.
It seems it must have flown in from somewhere.
How mysterious.

At the base of the grown dandelion, there are violas that withered after blooming proudly once spring ended. It looks like they are protecting the tiny violas. (They withered after the typhoon💦)

By the time the cherry tomatoes were finished,

that little sprout🌱 was stretching out its vines, looking for something to hold onto.

I was wondering if it needed a support stake, but then came the typhoon💦. It managed to pull through safely.

The sprout continued to grow steadily, undeterred by the hot sun. Before I knew it, it had firmly wrapped its vines around the fake grass mat on the balcony, holding on tight^ ^

Cute yellow flowers bloomed, too^ ^

What do you think this plant🪴 is?

During summer vacation, while I was at work, my second son in his third year of junior high planted seeds in an empty planter and would occasionally water and fertilize them^ ^

"Did you water the flowers today?"

"Yeah, I did / No, I didn't"

Every day was like that. On the scorching balcony,
the plants grew steadily this year^ ^

Some withered, others bloomed again, and new sprouts appeared.

Without anyone teaching it, it fumbled around in the place it was put and kept growing^ ^ Good job✨

It grows something like fruit, but it seems difficult for it to get any bigger.
Still, I'm giving it water and fertilizer.
And while I'm at it, I'm giving my heart some moisture too (lol

Is it because I gave it fertilizer and water, or because dandelions are naturally strong weeds? These days I'm starting to think it might be getting a little too big...😅

I wonder what kind of huge dandelion will bloom?

What do you think the fruit of that yellow flower is?

I'll keep watching over it for a while longer.☺️

Grow big, slowly.

Beside the cherry tomatoes.

Thank you for reading until the end.😊✨

Has anyone noticed?^ ^

In the first part of this article, I used the new note editor's

ruby function to add furigana to the kanji^ ^

In the draft, it looks like this, and when you post it, the furigana is displayed.

This might be a feature that people who write novels would want.
