Planting trees for small space

I was asked to plant trees for this small space under the eaves.


I improved the garden soil at first with compost and black soil.

I selected these trees this time. Some different conifers and a enkianths .


I decided to use this flower pot and this ornament for decoration .

The layout is important for small spaces.

All done.

The faminly was pleased at looking the finish. I was happy to see that ,too.



This two ornaments are rusty,but they have a good mood.



A month pasted since the great earth quake.
One of my friend who lives in Tohoku sent me a mail and the site adress of ABC news.


The pictures showed us that the impact of great Tsunami was really huge.

Bamboo Fence

I made a bamboo fence in my neighborhood garden.


This January, I went to the bamboo grove of local mountain ,and got a thick bamboo with my neighborhood.

That was too heavy to carry out. So, cut into three and carried out on my shoulder.

At first, I split a bamboo into two.

This is existent bamboo fence. My father made a first one about 20 years ago.
and the customor made over it by himself about 10 years ago.
And a couple month ago, he asked me to make over the one he made.

This time, I arranged the orginal , and made like this at first.
But my father didn't satisfy the finish. He instructed me to lift the thick bamboo up a little and change the Knot to be more prominent.

I modified those things, and finished at last.

 If you could get some bamboo in your country, have a try to make your original bamboo fence.
It it not too difficult.

This my neiborhood garden is well maintained. Can you see the bamboo fence ?
I like this garden.
