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.

ANOTHER CULTIVAR OF CHASTE TREE HAS STARTED TO BLOOM (もう一つのセイヨウニンジンボク開花)

There are two varieties of the chaste tree in the garden. The variety where the central flower bed was located flowered the other day, and since the end of last month, another variety in the blue border has flowered. The flowers here are smaller and more delicate. Buds emerge from side shoots and bloom repeatedly until around November. The red flower is trumpet vine, which also continues to flower all the time in summer.

庭には二種類のセイヨウニンジンボクの品種があります。先日中央花壇のあった場所の品種が開花しましたが、先月末から青の花壇のセイヨウニンジンボクが開花しました。こちらの方が花が小さくて繊細な印象です。脇芽から蕾が出て11月ごろまで繰り返し咲いていきます。赤い花はノウゼンカズラで、これも夏中ずっと花が咲き続けています。
