Gardening 20200718 ～Sneeboer～

Do you know Sneeboer? Wait about 2 months after ordering! It finally arrived.

I purchased a product called “4018 Great Dixter Trowel (ash wood handle)”. The catchphrase is as follows.

  • This trowel, designed to the specifications of Christopher Lloyd, was one of his favourite tools for planting and weeding.
  • It is narrow to allow you into tight spaces but sturdy for leverage when weeding difficult plants.
  • The rounded tip gives you a good cutting surface and the length of blade allows you depth in the soil.
  • For every sold Great Dixter tool we donate a part to the Great Dixter to maintain a piece of English heritage.

Let’s open it immediately!

I tried it!

Gardening20200716～lawn mowing on a sunny day during rainy season～

Rainy season is continuing, but today was fine. So I had mowed the lawn on the green roof !

Before lawn mowing. Dichondra occupies 80% of the area from this side.
Like this. If you look closely, the “Morning glory” spilled seeds I planted last year have sprouted and are mixed with the “Dicondra”.
Before lawn mowing. A mixture of lawn, dicondra and weeds.
After lawn mowing.Honeysuckle(upper left) planted in april grows its vine to under “Cherry sage”.
This bucket has been active recently. Faulks&Cox Red Gorilla TUBTRUGS M size (26L). The 30L poly bag fits nicely.
After lawn mowing. The eaves side is refreshing.
Garden Harb(Micromeria fruticosa) & Thyme Silver that planted last June. They grew !
“Tea Herb (Lippia dulcis)” planted at the same time. This herb seems to have grown anew because the above-ground part has withered in winter.
“Calamintha” that grows here and there every year. This also has a mint scent.
I cut the cherry sage at the western end of this grass roof and inserted it, but it firmly rooted.(lol) On the left is the rosemary planted in April.
An unidentified plant. The leaves are interesting, so I’ll wait for a while.
