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 SUN RISES AGAIN（日はまた昇る）

Once again the sun has risen, and its rays begin to fall upon the garden. Late October has arrived, bringing a season where mornings and evenings feel distinctly chilly. After the relentless heat of this summer, the lingering summer heat persisted, and just when autumn seemed to have finally arrived, suddenly cold days appeared. It seems the truly comfortable autumn period is becoming ever shorter. These days, I find myself nostalgic for times past.

今日もまた日が昇り、庭に日が差し始めました。10月も下旬になり朝晩は寒く感じる季節になりました。ひどい暑さが続いた今年の夏、残暑が長引いてやっと秋が来たと思ったら急に寒い日がでてきて、本当に快適な秋の期間が短くなってしまうようです。昔を懐かしむ今日この頃です。
