Part1:Oakleaf hydrangea

I got the “Oakleaf hydrangea” I’ve always wanted. I planted it in a slightly larger tin bucket.

Part2:Shaded garden

Although this garden is on the south side, it is in the shade. I am investigating plants that grow in the shade. “Rice flower” and “Gazania” manage to endure. I planted “Petunia-Cream soda” and “Plectranthus-Golden Swedish Ivy”(which seems to grow in the ground cover) on here.

Part3:The Northeast little garden

After : Pruned ash wood. Also, the flowers at the feet were thinned out.

Refreshing. Prepare for the Rainy season.

Part4:Salvia farinacea

Part5:Houstonia caerulea

Part6:？

I forgot the name of this flower.I planted it in the summer of last year, and it came out a lot, whether it was a perennial plant or a spilled seed. I think the name was somehow made in Africa of Rudbeckia origin.

Part 1

Climbing rose planted last fall are growing. I am trying to train this to the outside of the wood deck.

Part２

I planted succulent plants as I thought and left them alone for about a year (even in winter), and it felt good. Planted in a rain gutter type tin container.

A little heavy rain last night, and this afternoon, it cleared up.The other day, the irrigation pipe on the grass roof was damaged and I’m watching the situation. In the area that was supplied with water, the PERENNIAL HERB came out again this year and blooms flowers.

Orlaya planted last year. Get bigger, please.

”Gypsophila” also 3rd year, blooms every year.

”Yamaboshi-Cornus kousa” flowers are about to bloom on the ground garden.

Happening-20190517

My doughter said that Half of Greenroof is dead. So I went on the greenroof …

Panoramic photo (right side 2/3 turf is dead)

Oh my god!

First of all, I decided to switch the automatic irrigation system to manual and see what happens. As you can see in the video below (it’s hard to understand!), the water flow seems to be only in the front half.

Is the root of the flower clogged somewhere in the irrigation pipe? When I went up to the roof again, there was a place where water overflowed from the soil.

Water is spilling over the ground from a point of the rake tip.

Investigation-20190518

Now, looking at the drawing, the irrigation pipe is embedded in the ground like this.

I will try to dig the grass between the green part and the dead part.

When the irrigation pipe came out, I tried to manually drain the water again…

Jackpot! It turned out that the pipe had a break, and most of the water went out of here, and there was no water flowing into the pipe from here. Why did this part break?…

Repair-20190519

Now, the repair procedure is… First, I think it is appropriate to cut this part of the pipe and connect it with a joint. I have procured a hose fitting that matches the diameter of the pipe at a nearby DIY store.

The irrigation pipe is Kakudai’s porous pipe 5785 (15 mm inside diameter, 20 mm outside diameter). Substitute fittings are for hose inner diameter 15-18 mm. The hose band is for 19-25 mm.About 350 yen in total.

Go up to the roof and start working!

Fixed with hose bands (actually, pass the cable tie through the pipe first)

Since some water is leaking from the insertion port, weaken the water pressure a little.

Water is seeping out even at the downstream side (head) of the joint. It’s OK!

Make sure that water is coming out even on the tip of the roof.

Cause and Response

The pipe was scratched for some reason.⇒Repair with fittings.
The water pressure was too high (fully open the faucet!).⇒Squeezed the faucet considerably and changed the irrigation time to 20 minutes.

I want to see the situation for a while.
