looks a nice house

What a change looks lovely

A bit of patience and - thought you said you knew nothing about gardening seem to have done this nicely.

Amazing change. I love to look at photos from way back.

How many years did it take ,

Lovely and green and what a transformation.

Wow! You have done an amazing job.

Thank you all- a labour of love!

Good gracious - what a difference! I wouldn't have known it was the same house. Looks lovely.

That's what I call turning a "yard" (nothing but green grass) into a GARDEN !

Thank you - at no cost too! I was broke back then (mortgaged to the limit) so it was all cuttings and gifts.

That's how mine is going to have to get there! You are a great inspiration! (18 years huh?) Did most of those cuttings and gifts come from your dad?

All friends & family really- I never left anywhere without a plastic bag full of cuttings! Its probably been well established for the the last 10 years or so. Thanks for your comments Greenjeans

Lovely transformation :)

Great job Mike.
