子供のころには、大阪市内でも見られたジュズダマ。誰もが遊べる格好のオモチャでした。しかし、いつのころからか全く見られなくなりました。先日、そんなジュズダマのタネをいただき、小さなバケツに入れていたら芽を出し、少しずつ生長しています。昔はどこででも見られた雑草なのに、今ではバケツの中の小さな世界で細々と生きているだけです。タネが取れれば、子供のころのように自由な発想で何かを作る材料にしたいと思っています。あッ!そうそうハト麦茶と同様に、お茶にもなるらしいので、頑張って増やしたいと思っています。
About 40 years ago, Adlay was seen here and there in Osaka city. It was a good toy for children. However, it has disappeared from the city at all. The other day, I got a seed of adlay from a friend. If I put it in a small bucket, it sprouts and grows. It used to be a weed that was found everywhere, but now it just lives in a small world in a bucket. If I can get the seeds, I would like to use it as a material to make something like when I was a child. If I can get the seeds, I would like to use it as a material to make something with free ideas like when I was a child. In addition, it seems that it will also be pigeon barley tea, so I will do my best to increase it. I’m looking forward to the harvest.
