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.

SHOPPING AT THE NURSERY (ナーセリーでお買い物)

Saturday afternoon, we went to a nursery in the west part of Fukuoka City.  It's 45 minutes drive.  We always buy tulip bulbs in this nursery in late autumn.

At the entrance, succulents were planted in an engine space of a car. The shop was filled with vivid colors of cyclamen flowers and Christmas garden goods.  A large Santa Claus and a Snow Man were waiting to be bought.  Celosia candle cakes looked so beautiful, but not so delicious.  There were also a lot of iron goods for gardening, and I found and bought iron hose guide with frog on it. My wife bought a green tin flower pot.

Frog hose guard guides

Flower pots etc.

We determined that we will plant yellow and orange tulips in the potager this time, and bought large (and a little bit expensive) ones because tulips in the last spring flowered not so good maybe due to its small size and mold.

    I really enjoy buying tulip bulbs - I have started planting mine today. I like the frog hose guides and they look at home in your garden already. It sounds like a successful garden centre visit.
    Best wishes and enjoy the bulb planting!
