I have to systematically use my paid vacation. So, let’s gardening! Just like the combination of the blindfold net I installed the other day, it is a challenge to blindfold even with flowers.The following plants were purchased.
Gaura Iindheimeri
Garden Harb (Micromeria Fruticosa)
Tea Harb(Lippia dulcis)
Thyme Silver
Rudbeckia Sahara
Daucus-Carota
Painted-Sage
Hydrangea Tinkerbell (Purchased about half a month ago)
Rightside of discription”Micromeria Fruticosa” is Carex(large grown). Hiding in Carex is “Snapdragon”. There are “Dichondra” and “Oxalis” that cover the whole.Hydrangea will be a blindfold if it grows up by next year.
On the right side of the new arrival “Rudbeckia Sahara” is “Mexican hat”. It is a unique existence. Mini rose to the left of Sahara and “Cosmos atrosanguineus” to the left.The dark green ones are the ”Calamintha” that are scattered here and there. Below the “Sahara” are “White clover” and “Snapdragon”. The dead lawn is currently recovering.
I want “Tea herbs” to spread。In the upper left is a small bloom of “Marigold”, which has proliferated last year.(Spilled species) On the left side of the photo is “Gypsophila” planted in the first year of the greenroof.
The view seen from inside the room. How blind will the planted plant be?
Full view of the window through the green roof(Excellent open feeling!) So, I put a gardening net outside the window as a blindfold.So, I put a gardening net outside the window as a blindfold. It took about a week to procure materials, prepare the ground, and install the gardening net.
It’s a twine net. This time, cut it in half (0.9m x 3.6m) and use it.
“Sudare hanger”. Any material can be used as a starting point. A picture after installation will appear later.
These are purchased at the home center. Use on both ends of the net.
Aluminum round pipe 1m.
Strings for gardening. Green is cool.
Below is the installation status.
First, attach the ”Sudare hanger” in two places. In my case, there was a sunshade box, so I installed it there. I think it can be a window frame.
Hang the twine net on the Sudare hanger. And I also hook 1m of aluminum pipe at the same time. Adjust the spacing of the Sudare hangers appropriately.
Tie the top corner of the twine net to the aluminum pipe with twine.
By the way, this is bamboo purchased at a home center. The length is 1.8m, so it’s not enough. I use it by connecting with twine.
Lean with a rough feeling.
Hang the upper part with a string.
The tip of this bamboo is sharply cut, so insert it firmly into the green roof. (Do not damage the irrigation pipe in the ground.)
Fix it with a twine string so that the seams of the bamboo do not wobble. This time, I will look at the situation at two places, and if there is a wobble, I will make three places.
Two bamboos are installed at both ends of the twine net.
Secure the twine net to the bamboo on both ends.
The final finish. What’s this?
Fix the wire through the W ring to the earth retaining (L-shaped stainless steel single-sided punching metal) on the eaves of the roof.
Connect the twine net here with a rope. (Insurance to prevent flying away due to a typhoon)
Like this.
Two morning glories were planted on the eastern net.
These two types are on the west side. I hope these morning glories grow quickly.
May ends today. I used “Paid leave” for gardening. Today I bought 10 flower seedlings at “The Farm” in Ibaraki City.
South garden
Because this place is in the shadow of “Yamaboshi-Cornus kousa”, “Irohamomiji-Japanese maple”, and the neighboring houses (south and west), it probably takes about an hour a day. So, I studied with the “reasonable” book, “Building the garden in the four seasons to utilize the shade “. I bought some flowers that could grow even in the shade.
What I planted last fall has withered. Re-challenge.This time, I planted it in a place where it was sunny a little.
Let’s plant in a set with “Lysimachia atropurpurea-Beaujolais”. It is said that it will be 80 to 100 cm when planted locally.
Arranged next to the “Swedish Ivy-Plectranthus verticillatus” that was planted before, like a group plant.What happens when “Veronica” reaches 80cm…
“Campanula punctata”, “Origanum-Rotundifolium”
Because it was taken up comparatively in the previous book.
Let’s plant it under “Yamaboushi” as a set with “Campanula punctata”. The “Kent Beauty” at the “Container display corner“(half shade) is growing well, so I hope it grows here as well.
Balance with the previously planted “Rice Flower”.
”Ivy-Snow dancer”, “Perthenocissus henryana”
This is a beautiful “Ivy”. Small leaves.
I planted it at the foot of a “flower stand” with blocks. I want this ivy to spread…
If the sunlight is too good, the leaf color will become light. Isn’t it just right for the “Southern Garden”?
Aiming for a “brick block flower stand with ivy”. I’m looking forward to the autumn leaves.
Panoramic view. From the left, “Origanum-Rotundifolium”, “Campanula punctata”, “Rice flower” and “Ivy-Snow dancer” ,the foot of “Yamaboshi”. “Hydrangea-Tinkerbell” is on the “Brick block flower stand”, “Oakleaf hydrangea” is below it.”Gazania-Canary smile” and “Petunia-Cream soda” is below it. To the right, “Swedish Ivy-Plectranthus verticillatus”, “Veronica charlotte” and “Lysimachia atropurpurea-Beaujolais” the foot of “Japanese maple”.
“The garage” and “South garden”
KUSAYANE – Green roof
The “Green roof” that repaired the water leaks in the irrigation pipe has gone from a pinch.”Cherry sage” got better, and “Calamintha” came out here and there.The grass is turning green in places.
The dead part on the upper right is likely to be revived when trimmed.
”Tweedia-Oxypetalum”, and “Nierembergia-Augusta bluering”
A combination of “Blue Star” and “White Marron”.It feels good to have downy hair on the leaves.
I fell in love with this flower at first sight.I want this flower to grow in large numbers…
Co-starring flowers.
”Dichondra argentea-Silver Falls” and “Cosmos atrosanguineus”
There is no description tag. The surrounding area is not a silver leaf but an ordinary “Dichondra”. I hope silver will increase as much as ordinary dicondra.
I dug up and down to find out where the irrigation pipe was damaged. I planted ”Cosmos” to fill the hole.
“Petunia-x hybrida”
I was surprised at this color. There were other flowers with good colors, but this time I bought only this.
Don’t you think the color of this flower is really cool?
Centering on the yellow flower “Mexican hat”, the upper right is “Calamintha”, and “Petunia-x hybrida” planted this time, and the lower left is “Snapdragon”.(I have to clip of waste flower.)
A distant view of the area I planted this time. I want to make it more like an English garden by autumn.
Extra edition：It wasn’t in focus, but there was a bird egg shell…Why?…
