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.
Warmer days continued last week, and some flowers were in bloom in the potager. Foxglove was unusual in December. Leaves of potato were still green in raised beds and in frames. Sprouting broccoli grows well in a triangular raised bed.
