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.

GARDENS IN THE RAIN (雨の庭)

The gardens are soaking wet from the continuous rain. The club apple has started to produce pink flowers.

Of the newspapers and plastic attached to the rose shoots, the newspapers are a little torn by the wind and rain. So far, no damage has been caused by Syrista similis on the shoots that have been treated. There is only a little damage on the shoots that have not been treated.

The bluebells have finally started to flower in the bluebell garden. They will be in full bloom in a few days. We are very excited.

連日の雨で庭がぐっしょり濡れています. クラブアップルがピンクの花を咲かせ始めました.

バラの新梢に取り付けた新聞紙やビニールのうち、新聞紙は雨風で少し破れています. 今のところ対策を施した新梢にはバラクキバチの被害はありません. 対策していない新梢に少し被害がでているだけです.

ブルーベルの庭ではいよいよブルーベルが咲き始めました. 数日で満開になってくると思います. ワクワクしています.
