Two years on!

Welcome back!

wow, that's some differences there! not surprised it took so long, you'd need some specialist interention at times, I'd think.

it's such a shame when a garden that has been loved gets neglected to that extent. it must have taken years for that much to have happened.

hope your new home brings as much joy as your new garden - lucky you, moving just round the corner! makes things so much easier when a move is local, or fairly so.

Please keep us updated about future improvements!

Hi Teds welcome back, I often wondered where you had disappeared to, I well remember your garden and can now see and understand the reason for your absence, can see how busy you have been and going to be in the future, it sure looks huge compared to what you had before but how thrilling to bring a garden back to life, I like the steps and the slope and will follow with interest...
Wishing you all the best in your new home and with all the work in the garden.....

All the best Teds, looks fabulous so far, hoping to see lots more of the garden as it progresses. :O)

i was not a member of Goy then but its very impressive the work you have done and is a great source of encouragement you must be well pleased :-)

Teds welcome back, thats what I call a real labour of love, no wonder you`ve not been on so long.
It looks a lovely backdrop to your garden and some nice mature trees.
I love what you`ve done so far and look forward to see more pics as you progress.

Welcome back Ted's . nice to see you again, and what a good job you have done on your garden :0)

Welcome back Teds. Wow that's a handful youve got there. Looks like you've made a great start though. Love that little woodlandy area by the bench.

I remember you Teds. So glad you are back on the site.
you have a labour of love on your hands then.

the work you have done is amazing. Keep it up and keep us posted please.

Welcome back Teds and congratulations on making such a huge difference to your new patch, it took me back to when we started a new garden at house we had , the garden was part of a field and very hard work good luck with it ,there's nothing quite like sitting in a garden you have worked from scratch !

Thank you all for the welcome back, will keep you posted of developments in the garden, but it may be a while before the next blog happy gardening to all!

lol one can either write about what one's doing, or one can actually do it! good luck x

True Fran! That's incredible Teds. What a huge task you've taken on there! Mine wasn't anything like that daunting. Your progress is amazing! Well done to both of you. I dread to think how many skips you filled. But now you have a lovely big garden, and thinking back to how creative you were in your old garden..well, I'm looking forward to seeing what you do. Your Heuchera bank is similar to mine. So much so, it really made me stop...thought you'd been in my garden...until I saw the seat! :)

Wow, Teds - that's quite a task! How exciting, though. It looks as if it's going to be a most beautiful garden. I shall be watching out for any updates. Good luck!

Good to have you back on GoY Teds ... I remember your beautifully planted small back garden ... what a massively different garden you now have! Looks as though you are doing a good job so far ... :o)

Welcome back ! My goodness, you sure have some work to do there ! Looking forward to all the updates ! Its looking good !

Oh my such a lot of work but you're really getting stuck in !! its going to be stunning :-)
Took me back to to when we started ours 12 years ago,still a work in progress,ours was old allotment land so at least the soils good :-), remember the cutting brambles aaargh, but yes its so satisfying looking out and knowing its all your own work, looking forward to seeing yours develop, exciting times :-)
