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.

COMPOSTING CUT LEAVES OF COLEUS (コリウスの剪定くずを堆肥に)

I pruned coleus 'Cherry star' because it was overgrown. I put the cut branches and leaves on top of the green leaves in the compost bin, and it looks gorgeous as if it has bloomed.

コリウスが徒長したので剪定をしました. その剪定くずを堆肥容器の緑の葉の上に入れたら、花が咲いたように華やかになりました.
