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.

PINK ROSES NOW (ピンクのバラの今)
Sunny hot weather has been continuing since the rainy season was over. Some roses are extending their new shoots and bearing flowers.
(晴れて暑い日が梅雨明け以降続いています。新しい枝を伸ばして花を咲かせるバラもあります。)
These are Rosa 'Angela' on the arch.
(これはアーチのバラ「アンジェラ」です。)
And another is a standard Rosa 'Mary Rose' in the potager.
(もう一つ、ポタジェにあるスタンダード仕立てのバラ「メアリーローズ」)
Marple arranged Angela in the vase she bought in Cotswolds.
(家内がコッツウォルズで買ってきた花瓶にアンジェラを生けました。)
