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.
I set up a scarecrow made from Peter Rabbit’s jacket and shoes in the potager garden and took photos and videos of the garden in the morning. There’s also Jemima Paddle-duck.
Yesterday I spent the morning photographing the potager. The weather was lightly cloudy due to the thick yellow sand (dust carried on high winds from Mongolia, northern China, and Kazakhstan), and the lack of strong sunlight made for very beautiful shots.
I took out the scarecrow of Peter Rabbit jacket, edited a video showing the garden with the Peter Rabbit story in the background, and uploaded it to YouTube.
Peter Rabbit and of course Mr. McGregor will be there.
