Summer Vegetables

Farm in Nara.

When you think of vegetables it is not often that you would think of beautiful, colourful flowers.
I never knew that vegetables can grow with such pretty flowers until I started to work on a local farm regularly about two years ago. 
Here are some of the summer vegetable flowers in bloom right now...

突然ですが、野菜の花をいくつ思い浮かべることができますか？
わたしは、２年前から野良仕事に携わるまで、野菜にはこんなにもかわいらしい花が咲くなんて知りませんでした。
ただいま成長中の夏野菜の花をいくつかご紹介。。。

Aubergine.

Cucumber.

Okra.

Red Okra.

Tomato.
