20250606 Strawberries

 My churchman gave me a small flowerpot of strawberry. I didn’t care of it but it still alive these 2 years. I bought 1 pack of strawberries from supermarket but they were very sour. Strawberry in the UK is not good taste. So I don’t like to eat it. I become interesting in gardening this year and made 2 big bottles fruit skin fertiliser for my plants: apples, figs and strawberries. I made 1 fig tree into 3 with branching method and successfully. The coming months before winter will get 6 small fig trees and 3 apple trees. I will test the taste of strawberry. If it is ok, I will enjoy more than 60 strawberries this time.

20250517 Fruit flowers in my garden

 I planted Roses, apples, figs and strawberries since 2 years ago. Rosa in the UK is famous and easiest to plant, but actually it is not. I bought 2 pots of rosa and they were died after the flowers’ falling. I bought a rosa tree last yeas but it was illness nearly died. I found resolutions about how to cure. The flowers are beautiful this year but very weak. I am now learning to be a good gardener.

I like apple when I was a boy. Own an apple tree is my dream. I never thought that it can be true! I may have more than 50 apples when they become matured.

Fig, I have no sense about this fruit. It is very famous in Asia especially Taiwan. Fig is a deciduous bridge wood that leaves will fall in the winter. It will sleep until next Spring.

Strawberry. Everyone understands even I don’t say. It is a very lovely fruits. I got four strawberry plants from my friend 2 years ago. I bought strawberry in local supermarket many time but it was too sour so I didn’t care of them. How come two years has passed but they still live.  I was deeply moved by its vitality.

20250408 Woodbank Sakura Star Trails

The 2nd night of the Sakura Star Trails. It was much better to handle shooting and editing because I hadn’t taken this kind of photos such a long time. I applied 10 dark frames that it gave me very stunning noise reduction result.

Lucky that a meteor had been found.

Sakura will be end within this week. I may do it harder these two nights.

It was fully opened 10 days ago. When I arrived this night, the flowers dropped about 20% on the top of the tree. No take two so I must catch the right moment exactly next year.
