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.

GROWING PEONIES (シャクヤクが伸びてきました)


We have several varieties of peony in the peony bed.  Some grow early and others grow late.  Each variety shows different characters including colour and shape of leaves.  The earliest one flowers in two weeks, and others will flower in the middle of May when roses are in full bloom.


(シャクヤクの花壇に何種類かのシャクヤクを植えています。あるものは早く育ってきて、あるものはゆっくりです。それぞれの品種は葉の色や形の違った特徴があります。一番早い品種はあと2週間ぐらいで開花すると思いますが、ほかのはバラが満開になる5月中旬に咲くでしょう。)

  1. Dear Poirot
    Your peonies are looking lovely already but will look amazing when they flower. I have recently got some patio peonies, designed for pots (as I really don't have any room in the borders). One, 'Athens' has some flower buds, but the other, 'Madrid', is still tightly closed and hasn't started unfurling its leaves yet. I am looking forward to seeing how they do.
    I look forward to seeing photos of your peonies in flower.
    Best wishes
    Ellie

    1. Thank you for your comment. When I made a flower bed for peonies, I planted 7 or 8 variety. Most of them flowered, but two varieties did not flower yet. It's not easy to grow.
