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.

BLUE FLOWERS OF SALVIA IN A MEADOW (空き地に咲く青いセージの花)

Salvia guaranitica is flowering in a meadow behind the border fence.

Its blue colour and light green leaves look so beautiful.

サルビアガラニチカがボーダー花壇のフェンスの裏側の空き地で咲いています.

その青い色と明るい緑色の葉がとても綺麗です.

And Jerusalem artichoke has grown 10 feet high beside the salvia.

サルビアの横ではエルサレムアーティチョークが3メートルぐらいに育っています.

Two typhoons are coming to the western part of Japan,
and maximum temperature was over 37C this afternoon in our area.
We're sick of them.
