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.
Dear Poirot We hadn't had any rain for over a month so I really appreciated when we did get some. It made me realise how much I take it for granted (and shouldn't). Our weather is now more normal for August, sunshine and showers. I am sure your garden will love the rain. Best wishes Ellie

Dear Ellie
DeleteThis summer is quite abnormal, and we were really pleased with rain.
We can't wait for autumn.
