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.
BENCH INSPECTION AND PRESERVATIVE COATING (ベンチの点検と防腐剤塗装)
Every year around this time, we inspect and paint the bench in front of the brick wall. This bench was installed in 2011 and has now been in place for 15 years. In May, when the roses on the brick wall are in full bloom, this bench becomes a popular spot for photographs. Over time, we have observed wood rot in parts of the bench and carried out repairs. We turn the bench over for a thorough inspection. This time, no new rot was found; after washing it down, we applied a preservative. We will continue to maintain it carefully so that it remains a bench that can be sat upon safely for many years to come.
