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.
PICKING APPLES BEFORE THE TYPHOON ATTACKS (台風が来る前にリンゴの収穫)
The small apple variety ’Alpine Maiden’ is turning red in the Potager. It is almost time to harvest. If you look carefully, you can see branches with apple blossoms. Often flowers bloom out of season at this time of year. Once, the flowers were followed by fruit. But they did not grow large as the weather is gradually getting colder.
Another typhoon is expected to develop over the South Sea and approach tomorrow night. It is a very strong and large typhoon and could cause more damage than the last one. The apples were harvested today. A friend and her husband just arrived, so we picked them together. We picked about 50 apples.
