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.
Oh, when I see things like typhoons on the TV I realise just how lucky I am to live in England. Look after yourself (and Marple).
ReplyDeleteWe were scared of very strong wind and rain, however, there seems no damage in our garden.

ReplyDelete被害がなかったとのことで、よかったですね！
台風がわずかに東側を通り、風向きの関係で庭は山の陰になって暴風は免れたようです。今朝庭を見回ってシュウメイギクが倒れたりはしていましたが、概ね大丈夫でした。ご心配かけました。
