Post your ONE best Before and After...

Absolutely brilliant garden BM.

 

Anything is possible, even a little garden like mine 40x30 ! :eek:

 

Is that yards or acres? :D my garden is 20ft x 25ft.

 

your pics are back BM, I cant believe how small your garden is! and over 8 years, did you plan it all, or did you add on each year? Amazing just Amazing..

Lol your before pic! the work you and your hub have done is also Amazing, house and garden It looked so barren at the beginning, your design skills BM and LOL

 

BM,

Love the picks, especially the ones with the feet and the hammock with a little man asleep on it :D

 

Sorry I measure in feet (no pun intended !).

It took so long for many reasons, money, time, changing my mind so many times and confidence to do the building work myself.

As this is our first home that we have owned, (I was 22 when we bought it) the garden kind of evolved and grew up with me. I guess we both have some way to go :D

 

BM, your garden is amazing, everytime i see a pic it gives me Inspiration, cant wait till next year. saw the number 8 somewhere in the thread, is that how long it has taken?

 

It has been 'finished' before but has taken 8 years to its current look. :eek: :D

TBH when you start from scratch 8 years doesn't seem that long, especially to get the required amount of height and spread I wanted.

 

Thanks, Cutie. There's only one gardener in this household and builders did the house. :D

However, to be fair, t'other half takes the picaxe to the garden if need be for a hole or two (as has brother-in-law, Kedi-Gato's hubby) to plant in the sand garden ... we are predominantly on rock base.

I've always said ... it was blood, sweat and tears and now it's payback time and I enjoy.

 

NurseWhen - thats a wonderful transformation - looks so much bigger too.

Banana Man - wonderful, as ever. Now two feet larger. :D

 

:D

Anyone else got some befores and afters ?

 

Not as spectacular as yours BM, but here goes.

When we first moved in just over 4 years ago












Cleared the garden and put up new fence, moved the shed.



Bug the pond



Put in some decking



Pond last year

Pond this year

A look down the garden

 

Impressive, Kev ... what a change you have made. It was quite a wilderness and now neat and structured with just the right amount of overgrownness (is there such a word?). The decking area is nice next to the pond.

Well done.

 

Thanks lol, been inspired this year after joining GC, wait till next year, less grass more plants, can't wait
