Soup1's Garden Progress

Hello!
I'm new to this forum so thought I would post a few pics of our garden.
We live in Cornwall and have owned our cottage for 14 years. The previous owners weren't gardeners but I was so I saw the small garden with a smaller piece of waste ground on a slope as my challenge.
We have recently bought another piece from a neighbour so we're currently bringing that into shape.
I've added some 'before' and 'after' pics to give you a brief idea of what we're doing and the type of garden we have.
Hopefully you won't be too bored .....

Sorry it's picture heavy but I'll add more to the thread as we do more work on it.
Thanks for reading if you've got this far ....

 

Hi Soup,
You've done a fantastic job so far, it looks stunning.

Keep all all the good work

 

Wowzers! Looks fantastic!

 

I really like it, well done.

 

It looks fab....you've obviously worked hard on it and it's paid off.

Welcome to GC by the way!

 

You have accomplished one massive (and beautiful) transformation there
A lot of hard work has gone into making that space a very welcoming, tranquil and colourful space; you should be very proud of your achievements

Thank you for sharing it with us - its an inspiring space.

 

What a lovely transformation, you must be very proud as it looks fantastic, just goes to show....put in the work and it will pay you in its splendour

 

Gosh, thanks for all your comments, they're really appreciated.
I originally hail from the Midlands where the soil was largely clay so things took a while to establish and start growing. Down here I ignore the 'size in 5 years' indicators on plant labels as everything just takes off ...... pruning has been my big learning curve so I'm still getting to grips with 'when' and 'how much' to take off where ....

 

Wow, your garden is amazing, you've done an incredible job

 

What a great place. I'm sure you will love it here x
