The plants on the balcony were cut back and cored in June.I will introduce what happened after that in several parts. Let’s start with what happened after the first part, which is exactly one month from today. Now that I think about it, it was still cool back then, but today it’s 32℃/28℃ and 70%
Bright yellow and orange hues,I didn’t really like nasturtiums because of their cute round leaves and simple “flower” feel.I discovered its charm last year when I read Keiko Yoshitani’s book, and this year I planted the seeds and tried growing them. I chose “Nasturtium Jewel Mix”. In my house, seven buds have sprouted, grown, and
We work hard on cutting back and pruning during the rainy season, and this time it’s pruning the summer mist. This is what it looked like before it was plucked for the second time in early June and the scissors were inserted.The density has increased compared to the first time, so I’m glad I cut
It was 28℃/22℃ today, with strong winds all day and light rain from noon.Perhaps because the minimum temperature was high, many plants were quite dehydrated. Meanwhile, cutting back and pruning is going on.This time I plucked the core of a yellow petunia ‘Easy Wave’. This is what it looked like before I put the scissors
Today’s sky is clear and the temperature is 31℃/20℃.I think this is the first time this year that the temperature has exceeded 30℃.It was such a hot day that I planted the petunia ‘Sakura Sakura’. I saw it for the first time at a local hardware store a few weeks ago and fell in love
It’s raining and quite humid today, 27℃/22℃.It’s been a long time since I’ve been sweating like this, but I’m in a calm atmosphere, and I’m going back to the rainy season. First up is Geranium ‘Moonlight’ Senbalo.Since I added more pots in early spring, the leaves have increased and it has grown thick.I think it’s
Cutting back is recommended before the rainy season, but I had completely forgotten about it and am currently working on it.So today I cut back Calibrachoa and Baby Sunrose. First up is Calibrachoa ‘Uno Double’ orange.It hasn’t gotten very big, and it’s only recently that the flowers have finally started to grow. If you don’t
Unlike yesterday, it was raining but still cool in Osaka today at 26℃/22℃.When it was a good day for maintenance, I immediately pruned two. First of all, Nagasaki lavender “Little Mummy”.I pruned it once after flowering, but when the second flower opened, I added scissors.This is what it looks like before cutting. As per the
It started raining in the afternoon, and today’s temperature was 25℃/19℃. I saw twice on other people’s blogs that they had cut back Sanbritainia.“By the way!” I decided to cut back immediately. The official website says “before the rainy season”, but I guess it’s okay.Actually, I was so happy that it was growing so thick
Part 2 of “Planting summer seedlings.”It was a few days ago that I found seedlings that I hadn’t been able to get the last time.The forecast was for heavy rain the next day, so we decided to plant today. First up is Summer Mist.I’ve been looking for Torenia since last year, but I haven’t been
