Petit English Garden of MARPLE & POIROT

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.

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.

WHITE FLOWERS IN MID-SUMMER AND BEES (真夏の白い花々とミツバチ)

An intense heat wave has been covered us
since the end of rainy season three weeks ago.
There was no rain and the high temperature was over 33 deg.
My wife watered our gardens every day,
and she has got summer heat fatigue at last.

ひどい熱波が梅雨明けから3週間ずっとおおっていて
雨は降らず、最高気温は33度以上.
家内は毎日庭の水やりで
ついに夏バテ.

There are several kinds of white flowers in the central flower bed.
They are flowering with vigor!
And bees fly from flower to flower.
