今日の動画:セイヨウツゲの春剪定
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.
After the wild cherry blossoms quickly came into full bloom due to the May-like weather, the cherry blossoms have lasted longer because of the cold weather, with mid-winter-like cold air flowing in. From the bench at the top of the Bluebell garden, the wild cherry blossoms and mimosa flowers, which have started to bloom, can be seen against the backdrop of Itoshima Fuji mountain
山桜が五月並みの陽気であっという間に満開になったあと、真冬並みの寒気が流れ込んで寒くなったため、桜の花が長持ちしています。ブルーベルの庭の一番上にあるベンチからは糸島富士を背景に山桜と、開花を始めたミモザが見えます。
