Petit English Garden of MARPLE & POIROT

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.

RED LYCORIS FOLLOWS (赤いリコリスが続きます)

Red lycoris (Lycoris radiata) usually flowers at autumnal equinox in our area, and it's called equinoctial flower. However, some of lycoris flowers much earlier than that, especially in our garden. It's begun to flower here and there.
And white and yellow flowers of lycoris is going to bloom in a week.

赤いヒガンバナはこの辺りでは普通彼岸のころに咲き、ヒガンバナと呼ばれますが、
一部のヒガンバナはそれよりずっと早く咲きます.　
すでにあちこちで咲き始めています.
そして、白や黄色のリコリスも一週間ほどで咲きそうです.

Under the plum tree, it flowers with Liriope muscari, which bear spikes with a number of small lavender-colour flowers.
