庭の紹介

　夫婦で庭づくりを福岡の郊外で2003年に始めました.　赤土むきだしの斜面にまず階段や園路をつくって芝をはり、果樹やバラ、ハーブなどを植えました.
　2010年にイギリスの有名なガーデンの、シシングハースト、モティスフォントアビー、ヒドコートマナーなどを回り、その素晴らしさに圧倒され、それから自分たちで小さくても素晴らしい庭をめざして庭づくりをつづけています.

LITTLE CUTIES

Last weekend, we harvested blueberries.  Blueberry season is almost finishing.  Total of the harvest has reached 15 kilogrammes (33 pounds), and most of it was used to make blueberry jam.

At harvesting, I found two little cute snails.  Their shells were smaller than a blueberry.  They extended their eyes exactly same as large snails do.  They made my mind quite calm...

A little cutie!

Is he a elderly brother?

We made jam so much, and we filled many jars with jam.


I have made new labels for blueberry jam jars with a Marple's photo.  This is also cute, isn't it?

    Dear Poirot
    What an amazing blueberry harvest! The jam does look lovely and I like Marple's picture on the labels. I have four blueberry bushes in pots in my garden, but I haven't had a very good harvest this year (although I shall never have the amount that you get!)
    Enjoy your delicious jam!
    Best wishes
    Ellie

      Thank you Kimberly. A third of the jars have already gone as a present to our friends.
