Preparation for spring garden

It’s already spring… but still cold, and it’s raining… I don’t feel like gardening…

Today, I did some weeding, clean and organize the “Container display corner”.
After all viola grows well! I cut it back and put it back in my room. I used the “favorite” coffee cup with the broken handle as a vase to decorate the room. There is a good scent in the room.

Cosmos-sulphrreus, Ipomoea-quamoclit

I kept the seeds I picked up on the roadside last year and planted them in July of this year. So one of them has grown firmly and is still in bloom.
I think I’ll take seeds again and increase them next year.
One more. When I sown the seeds two years ago, it grew a lot. I also kept these seeds. It is said that the English name is “Cardinal climber”. It’s still blooming.
I will harvest this seed again this year. Thus, seeds are formed after the flowers have finished blooming.
The bulge of this fruit is dry, so if you put a little effort, a black seed will come out from inside like this.

Westringia-fruticosa

Today, I bought two types of trees, “Westringia-fruticosa” and “Acacia-weeping wattle”.

“Westlingia-fruticosa” is also known as “Australian rosemary”, but it does not seem to have the scent of rosemary.

This time I decided to plant in the ground. Because “Creeping thyme” is the ground cover, so I wanted a little accent. (Around the yellow circle)
I planted “Westringia” through the crowded “Creeping thyme”. By the way, “Creeping thyme” spreads the scent just by gently shaking it.
At the same time,”Origanum-kent beauty” growing in the middle is a foothold, so I put a partition. Lay bricks here as a foothold for watering potted plants.

Another is “Acacia-weeping wattle”.

The biggest feature is the phrase “Four seasons bloom”, so I bought it ! I planted it in a large pot. Will it grow big?

Tanacetum parthenium

The weather has been very good today. It was a little windy, but I did gardening.

This year, there were earthquakes in June, heavy rains and typhoons in July, and the green roof is little rough. The lawn on Green roof got messed up and half died (＞＜).

But small flowers are in bloom. In this situation, this marigold, which was sown in May, grows up well in the face of bad weather!

I didn’t have any flowers on “Container display corner”, so I bought 3 stocks.
・Nemesia(my favorit)
・Viola(Tiger eye)
・Tanacetum parthenium(dwarf)←First time

The leftmost ”Petunia” has been divided into stocks, so it is growing fairly well.
I planted “Nemesia” for the renewal of group planting.
I planted “Petunia”, “viola” and “Tanacetum-parthenium” in unglazed pots. I put them in a container that was made of waste wood.
A little color has been added to the “Container display corner”. By the way, this“Tanacetum-parthenium” is in bloom from April to June, Is it all right…(´・ω・｀)？

The wire for Climbing rose.

The Climbing rose “Iceberg” planted in May has grown considerably.

I laid wires to train the branches during the dormancy and blindfold them.

Since the bunk bed staircase is no longer needed, I cut it in half and made it into a deck staircase.

This is the sketch about the plan of wire for training the “Climbing rose”.
