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 POTAGER IN FEBRUARY (二月のポタジェ)

The flax, which was sown early in the potager, has already started to flower a little, partly due to the mild winter. The flowers are small and lovely light blue.

The cabbages and onions planted in the pentagonal raised beds are also growing well.

ポタジェでは早く種を蒔いていた亜麻が、暖冬の影響もあり、すでに少し咲き始めています。小さくて可愛らしい水色の花です。

五角形のレイズドベッドに植えたキャベツや玉ねぎも順調に育っています。
