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.
It has been sunny every day since 4 May, so the garden is quite dry and needs watering. The roses in the side yard garden are in bloom. These are varieties that come into flower a little later than usual; they weren’t in bloom at all during the open garden event the other day. ‘Summer Snow’, the white rose at the very top of the main garden, is a variety that produces hundreds of flowers on a single tree, and it is now in full bloom. The ageing ‘Pierre de Ronsard’ is also producing a few flowers.
