ディルの芽が出ました。
種を蒔いて3日後にこの状態になっています。
種が 入っていた袋の裏には、
内容量 6g
発芽率 70%以上
とありました。
この3日の気温は25度から28度（およそ）、湿度は60％以上の日々でした。
丁度大雨が降り続いた期間でしたので、日本特有の温暖湿潤気候に熱帯特有の湿度と気温の高さを2025年の体感に加えると、大体の感じが分かると思います。
発芽までの一般的な目安は1週間とありますが、早ければ3日ともありますので、この3日間の気温と湿度はやはり植物が成長しやすい環境だったと言えますね。
つまり南の植物が多くある温室に入った時が、一番植物の生育環境に適している、と考えていいと思います。
土は薔薇用の土を使いました。重たい思いをして持って帰る必要はありません。私達にはアマゾンがあります！
薔薇用（バラ用）とされている土は、とても良い土で肥料も多めに含んでいます。
日本の鉄筋コンクリートビルで、日当たりがある程度有るベランダでは、一番植物の生育（成長）に合っている土です。
薔薇は肥料食いと言われますが、実はあまり肥料を与えてはいけないんです。
けれど根と茎と葉が一番重要なので、肥料ではなく良い土を選びます。
これはどの植物にも言えることです。
ディルはハーブの一種で、魚料理の上にぱらりとかかっている針状の緑色のアレです。
スッキリした味わいがありますよね。
偶然、有機種子の印がついたディルの種をアマゾンで購入しましたが、有機種子というのは、種を取る大元の植物に農薬を使っていない種子のようです。
成長したら食べるつもりではいますが、見た目が美しく繊細そうなので、今回薔薇の植え替えの時に余った土に種を蒔きました。
ランダムに撒いただけです。
入れ物は、多分ダイソーかセリアで見つけた正方形のアルミ缶に後ろに9個の穴をドライバーの錐（きり：先の尖ったアイツ）で穴を開けて、排水用としました。
水やりは土が乾いていたら、底から水が出るまであげて、水を切っていつもの場所に置きます。
これは大事なことですが。
お洒落な入れ物、良いデザインの物を安く手に入れて、観察や生育に役立てるのは、科学的な態度をサボっている事にはなりません。
自分の暮らしている空間で、環境を乱さないようにインテリアや窓からの景色に合うものを使うのは当然だと思います。
美しさやデザイン性と機能性・センスというのは、実は科学や化学に静かに向かい合う時に、とても必要な感性だと私は思います。
O.先生も美しさ、洒落た物を大変大切にされます。
それを重要と思うかどうかは、一人一人が好きに決めて良いことですが、美しさやお洒落があるから真剣ではない。真面目ではない。というのは、くだらないことでしかありません。
そういう考え方で人の邪魔をしたり、静かな学問や自習の価値、その人のペースに合った学究の価値を下げると勘違いしているに過ぎません。
何か余計な口を挟まれたら、心の中か、とても静かに落ち着いた声で、「あなたの服は変よね。」とだけ言って、観察に戻りましょう。
可愛いから、綺麗だから、ちゃんと育ったら、その内、大切な時間、素敵な気分の朝にバゲットに乗せたサーモンの上にハーブを乗せて味わうのを楽しみにする事の、どこが軽薄なんでしょうか？
ジェイミー・オリバーはロンドンでの青年時代に、あまり日が当たらない部屋の窓の小さなアイアンのガード（枠）に、銀色で揃えた缶にハーブや多肉植物を植えて、彼女や友達に出す料理に使っていましたよ。
これこそ質実剛健（しつじつごうけん）です。
大丈夫です。気軽にやりましょう。
こちらは収穫したオリーブの実。
オリーブが入ったドライ・マティーニは好きですが、自分で作るには果てしなさそうなので、今年もインテリアに使おうと思います。
ところで、ドライ・マティーニには色々な考え方がありますが、私は「GIN & IT」というさっぱり一発理解オッケーのレシピが好きです。
ITは、その時のお前の最高と思う飲み物、という解釈でいいと思います。
最高のマティーニは、ジンと、その時お前が思う最高を合わせろ！
私達は、世界で最も静かで最も小さいダンスを自分が思う最高の物と踊りましょう。
ダンスの相手は、もちろん、すぐそばに当たり前にある、あなたの興味の中に隠れている科学と、です。

The dill sprouts have emerged.
This is the condition three days after sowing the seeds.
On the back of the bag containing the seeds, it stated:
Net weight: 6g
Germination rate: 70% or higher
The temperature over the past three days has been between 25 and 28 degrees Celsius (approximately), with humidity above 60%.
It was a period of continuous heavy rain, so if you add the high humidity and temperature typical of a tropical climate to the mild, humid climate of Japan in 2025, you can get a general idea of the conditions.
While the general guideline for germination is one week, it can sometimes happen in as little as three days, so the temperature and humidity over these three days were indeed an environment conducive to plant growth.
In other words, when you enter a greenhouse with many southern plants, it is the most suitable environment for plant growth.
We used rose-specific soil. There's no need to carry it home with you. We have Amazon!
Rose-specific soil is very good soil that contains a generous amount of fertilizer.
In Japanese reinforced concrete buildings, on balconies with adequate sunlight, this soil is the most suitable for plant growth.
Roses are often referred to as “fertilizer-hungry,” but in reality, they shouldn't be given too much fertilizer.
However, since the roots, stems, and leaves are the most important parts, it's better to choose good soil rather than relying on fertilizer.
This applies to all plants.

Dill is a type of herb, and it's the needle-shaped green stuff sprinkled on top of fish dishes.
It has a refreshing taste, doesn't it?
By chance, I purchased dill seeds labeled as organic seeds on Amazon. Organic seeds are seeds from plants that have not been treated with pesticides.
I plan to eat them once they grow, but since they look beautiful and delicate, I decided to plant the seeds in the leftover soil from when I repotted my roses.
I just scattered them randomly.
The container is probably a square aluminum can I found at Daiso or Seria, with nine holes drilled in the back using a screwdriver bit (the pointed one) for drainage.
When watering, I give it water until it drains out the bottom when the soil is dry, then let it drain and place it back in its usual spot.
This is an important point.
Using stylish containers or well-designed items at an affordable price to aid observation and growth does not mean neglecting a scientific attitude.
It is natural to use items that harmonize with the interior and views from the windows without disrupting the environment in the space where one lives.
Beauty, design, functionality, and sensibility are actually essential sensibilities when quietly engaging with science and chemistry, I believe.
Professor O. also places great importance on beauty and stylish items.
Whether one considers them important is a matter of personal preference, but to claim that beauty or style makes something less serious or less earnest is a trivial notion.
Such thinking merely undermines the value of quiet scholarship, self-study, and the pace of individual academic pursuits.
If someone makes an unnecessary comment, quietly say to yourself or in a calm voice, “Your clothes fuck off,” and return to your observation.
What is superficial about looking forward to enjoying a baguette with salmon and herbs on a beautiful morning, once you have grown up properly?
Jamie Oliver, during his youth in London, planted herbs and succulents in silver-colored cans on the small iron guards (frames) of the windows in a room that didn't get much sunlight, and used them in the dishes he served to his girlfriend and friends.
This is what true substance and strength are all about.
It’s okay. Let’s do it casually.

These are the olives we harvested.
I like dry martinis with olives, but it seems like too much work to make them myself, so I think I'll use them for interior decoration again this year.
By the way, there are various ways of making dry martinis, but I like the recipe called “GIN & IT,” which is easy to understand.
IT stands for “the best drink you think of at that moment.”
The best martini is gin combined with whatever you think is the best at that moment!
Let's dance the quietest and smallest dance in the world with what we think is the best.
