My wife and I started gardening in Fukuoka (Japan) in 2003. There was nothing but muddy clayey sloping land. At the beginning we made several structure such as steps and paths, and planted turf, fruit trees, roses, herbs etc.
In 2010, we visited several famous English gardens, including Sissinghurst Castle Garden, Mottisfont Abbey Garden and Hidcote Manor Garden. We were shocked by the glory of those gardens. Since then, we have been trying to make small but glorious gardens by ourselves.
The hot summer days are continuing. Today I would like to show you some of the blue flowers in the garden which are blooming in spite of the heat.
The pretty flowers of the ageratum are blooming in the flower bed by the window of the garden room. They are in the best view from the room and give a cooler feeling.
In the blue beds the catmint has been in bloom since May. The agapanthus is almost finished flowering. A few dark blue Salvia guaranitica is also blooming. And the chaste tree, which blooms repeatedly until early autumn, has finally started to flower.
The chaste tree in the central flower bed is also starting to flower.
The potato vine on the wall of the garden room is also increasing in number of flowers. They are very cool and pretty.
