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.

TOMATOS ARE RIPENING (トマトが熟してきました)

The tomatoes that we planted at the beginning of April have produced a lot of fruit and are ripening red. A rain shelter has been installed and the front is also covered with transparent plastic on rainy days.

This tomato is a dwarf mini-tomato, the variety name is 'Tumbling Tom Red', and it is less than one meter tall. If not killed in the summer, it will produce more fruits in the fall.

四月の初めに植え付けたトマトがたくさんの実をつけて、赤く熟してきました. 雨除けを設置して、雨の日は前面も透明ビニールで覆っています.

このトマトは矮性のミニトマトで品種名はタンブリングトムレッドといい、草丈は1メートル以内です. 夏に枯らさなければ、秋にまたたくさん実をつけます.
