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.

BEGINNING OF RAINY SEASON (梅雨入り)



 The start of the rainy season was announced for the Kyushu region the day before yesterday.  Much rain has fallen and vulnerable herbaceous plants with long thin stalks has fallen or broken here and there.  It's time to cut short such plants.


(九州地方が梅雨入りしたと一昨日発表がありました。たくさん雨が降って草花の長くて細い茎があちこちで倒れたり折れたりしています。短く切り戻す時期です。)


Two plants that suit the rain have become in bloom now.  They are both blue flowers.

(雨に似合う2種類の花が咲いています。どちらも青い花です。)

The first is sweet flag in the small pool. 

(ひとつは小さな池の花菖蒲


Another one is hydrangea at the entrance.

(もう一つは入口の紫陽花


Raindrop ripples on the small garden fountain tell us that the rainy season has come.

(小さな噴水の水面にできる波紋が梅雨の訪れを告げています。)

  1. Thank goodness we do not get a rainy season, although some years it can feel like we do. So sad that it breaks your plants but nice that it waters the garden for you.
    Love your blue flag and Hydrangra.

    1. Thanks to much rain, we have a beautiful forest in Japan.
      However, sometimes too much rain jeopardise plants in our garden.

      We have to take the good with the bad:-)
