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.

TYPHOON PASSED, NO MAJOR DAMAGE APPEARS LIKELY (台風通過、大きな被害なさそう)

The 11th typhoon of the year entered the Tsushima Strait from the East China Sea last night and made its closest approach to Fukuoka in the early morning.

台風が昨夜、東シナ海から対馬海峡に入って、福岡に早朝に最接近しました.

The winds reached about 15 metres per second and some branches of large trees in the neighbourhood have broken off and fallen, but in the garden the damage seems to be minimal. From our window We can see broken branches of the chaste tree.

風は秒速15メートルほどに達して、近所では大きな木の枝が折れて落ちたりしていますが、庭では被害は最小限で済んでいるようです. 窓からはセイヨウニンジンボクの枝が折れているのが見えます.
