The peony bed is empty in winter, so I have planted hardy cyclamen and winter-flowering oxalis. Both are brightly coloured and brighten up the garden.
芍薬・牡丹の花壇では冬は何もなくなるので、ガーデンシクラメンと冬咲のオキザリスを植えています. どちらも鮮やかな色で、庭を明るくしてくれます.
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.
