10年以上前にどこかの農協で購入した菊がどんどん殖えました
70歳で定年になりましたので、これからはもっと丁寧に育てたい
The chrysanthemum I bought at a local agricultural cooperative over ten years ago has steadily multiplied.
When I first bought it, there was only one small plant, but over time it kept growing, and now I have about three large pots full of it.
I’m ashamed to admit that I’ve neglected it and haven’t tended to it at all, yet it blooms every autumn.
Now that I’ve retired at 70, I’d like to care for it more attentively. I had no time to give it any attention before, but from now on, although I’ll continue working a bit, I’ll be able to go at my own pace, allowing time for gardening.
Hopefully, I won’t end up over-caring for it and accidentally making it wilt!"
