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.

Mallow tea

Salvia guaranitica is now in full bloom.  It spreads too much, and we weed here and there.

Common mallow has begun blooming.

 We brewed mallow tea.  At first its color is clear blue.

 Then a slice of lemon was added, and it suddenly changed color to pretty pink. That's fantastic, isn't it?
