Joey Posted July 12, 2009 Report Share Posted July 12, 2009 I had a vision in mind for the crappy garden that was here when we bought this place. A few trips to Lowe's and in two days, we are finally finished. Backbreaking work, but well worth it. Paul was a trooper and plowed through with me. Thanks Hon, I know that's not what you had in mind for the weekend, but we can fish two days next weekend Just finished about an hour ago. Here's the pics. Cheers, Joey Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Terry Posted July 13, 2009 Report Share Posted July 13, 2009 nice job did you know from the start that you needed to turn every second stone or did you just figure it out Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigugli Posted July 13, 2009 Report Share Posted July 13, 2009 Looks good gang. You also left your plants enough room to spread and fill out naturally. There is a nice variation in texture, colour and height. Question: How much light will your garden receive, and when in the day wil it receive it? I see shade plants combined with sun lovers.

It gets about 5 - 6 hours of sun, mixed with shade because of the tall trees on the other side of the yard. I'll learn as I go I suppose.
