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.

THE SECOND COLD WAVE BROUGHT A LIGHT COVERING OF SNOW (二度目の寒波でうっすら雪化粧)

This is the second strong cold snap of the winter, following on from the one before Christmas. Snow cloud after snow cloud has drifted in and light snowflakes are falling. The garden has also been covered with a light dusting of snow. If snow piles up at night, it will be difficult to go to work in the morning. I pray it doesn't pile up.

クリスマス前につづいて、この冬2度目の強い寒波がやってきました。雪雲が次から次へ来たから流れ込んで、小雪が舞っています。庭もうっすらと雪化粧してきました。夜に雪が積もると朝の出勤が大変です。積もらないように祈っています。
