This year, I have planted a bitter gourd at the entryway, but I have been able to harvest only a few fruits. I suppose it was due to the low templature of the first half of this summer and the place doesn't have enough sunshine.

ゴーヤ bitter gourd
玄関先に植えたゴーヤですが、収穫できたのはわずかです。夏の前半は気温が低かったのと、日当たりの悪い場所が原因だったのかも知れません。

黄色いカンナ yellow Kanna
朱色のカンナを先日見たばかりですが、今度は黄色のカンナに出会いました。実も成ってます。今まで実を見たことが無かったのは、気が付かなかっただけなのでしょう。
心ここに在らざれば、みえども見えず、聴けども聞こえず、食らえどもその味を知らず。
I just saw vermilion cannas the other day, but this time I met yellow cannas. They have fruits also. I had never seen the fruits before. No, I suppose that I simply didn't notice them.
If the mind is absent, I can't see it, can't hear it, can't even know its taste.

落花生の収穫 peanut harvest
ピーナッツは、茹でても、炒っても美味しいです。カラスがほじくり始めると、落花生の収穫時期です。カラスは、どうやってその事を学習したのでしょう。
It goes well with beer, whether they boil or roast it.
When the crows begin to scoop them, it is time to harvest for peanuts.
I wonder how crows learned that.

ヒネム Calliandra
花も葉も形は、ネムノキにとても似ていますが、これは、ヒネム（緋合歓）という名前で、別の種類の植物です。ネムノキは7月で花が終わりますが、ヒネムは9月になっても咲いています。背が1m程にしか高くならないので、庭木に良いですね。
The shape of flowers and leaves of this tree is very similar to Silk tree, but this tree is a Calliandra which is different from species of Silk tree. Silk tree flowers end in July, but the Calliandra is still blooming in September. It is a good for garden tree because it grows only about 1m in high.

ハクウンボクの実 fruits of Styrax obassia
実が熟す前には毒成分であるサポニンが含まれますが、熟すと無毒になり、鳥のよい餌になります。
熟す前に毒成分があるのは、種（シュ）を守るためだと思います。イチジク枇杷の実も熟す前には毒があり、ひどい目に合ったことがあります。どうやら、私は鳥より劣るようです。
(2019年10月22日 訂正：イチジク → 枇杷の実）
Before the fruit ripens, it contains poisonous saponin, but when it ripens the poisonous ingredient disappears and becomes a good food for birds.
I think that there is a poison before ripening to protect the species.
The fruits offig tree loquat also contain a poisonous ingredient before they ripen, I had a bad experience when I ate unripe its fruits. Apparently, I seem to be inferior to birds.

カンナの実 fruits of Canna
カンナの実を見るのは初めてです。種をまけば芽が出るのでしょうか。
This is my first time to see the fruits of Canna. If I scatter the seeds, I wonder whether they sprout.

迷惑カラス troublesome crows
カラスにとって天窓の魅力とはなんだろう。
我が家の天窓へのカラスのいたずらが絶えません。隣家も同じ天窓がありますが、カラスは我が家だけにきます。
動画から流れるカラスの鳴き声は、カラス言葉で"逃げろ"という意味と聞いています。カラスを追い払うために室内で再生していまが、カラスは逃げることもなく、パッキンをむしっています。
What attracts crows to the skylight?
The mischief of crows to the skylight of my home still continues. The neighboring house has the same skylight, but crows come only to my house.
I've heard that this crow's cry recorded on the Video means "Run away" in crow language. I playbacked it in the room to drive away the crows, but the crows don't run away and continue pulling packing of the window.
