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.

PLUM BLOSSOMED AT ONCE IN WARM WEATHER (陽気でスモモが一気に開花)

Suddenly the plums have blossomed all at once due to the warm weather. With so many flowers in bloom, the garden is springing up at once. Will they bear many fruits this year? I am looking forward to June. My wife has artificially pollinated the plums in the hope of a good harvest.

急に暖かい日が続いて、スモモが一気に開花しました。たくさん花が咲いて、庭が一気に春めきます。ことしもたくさんの実をつけてくれるでしょうか。六月が楽しみです。豊作を願って、家内が人工授粉をしました。
