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 1ST POPPY FLOWER (最初のポピーの花)


Yesterday morning, Oriental poppy has started to bloom in the potager.  It's just only one flower, but it is really beautiful!


(ついに昨日の朝、ポタジェでポピーが咲き始めました。たった1個ですが、ほんとに綺麗。)


This has been grown from one of the wildflower mixed seeds that my English teacher gave me as a souvenir from England last September.

(昨年9月にイギリスのお土産として私の英語の先生がくれた野草の花のミックス種から成長したものです。)


Wildflower seeds were sown  around the standard rose.  Other wildflower plants are growing with the Oriental poppy.  Nasturtium has grown vigorously under the rose. 

(この種をスタンダードのバラのまわりに蒔きました。他の野草も一緒に成長しています。ナスターチウムがバラの下でずいぶん大きく育っています。)


In two pentagonal beds, in which we planted asparagus, pink agrostemma has already been blooming with nemophila and white campion. 

(アスパラガスを植えている2つの五角形の区画にピンクのアグロステンマがすでに咲いています。ネモフィラとフクロナデシコも一緒に咲いています。)



The most beautiful moment will come in a couple of weeks, and I'm full of expectation.

(あと2週間ほどでもっとも美しい瞬間がやってきます。私は期待で一杯です。)

  2. Dear Poirot
    Beautiful flowers - and excellent for insects too. I'm looking forward to seeing how they develop too.
    Best wishes

    1. Thank you for your visit and encouraging comment.

      I saw many red poppies in the field when we visited Britain. At that time I heard, for the first time, about the Poppy Day memorializing the soldiers who have died in the Great War.

      It's really beautiful flower.
