Garden

non mi ero ancora accorta che l'erba fosse cresciuta così tanto nel nostro giardino, e sorpresa le prime fragole, l'uva e il sambuco in fiore. Ma ancora niente fiori nell'  acanto.

I didn't realize that the grass grew so much in our garden, and surprise the first strawberries, grapes and elder in bloom. 

But still no flowers in acanthus.
