Wow, you have worked hard. How long has it took so far?
about 3 years insomnia!
is harder now as we have the little one and my partner is always working and we have 4 dogs too haha but we work round it all while doing the garden and growing all our plants 
Yeah, but just think, the years will fly by, and as you continue, and the 'little one' turns into a bigger one, you'll be able to sit back and think 'we did that' and enjoy it. Please keep us updated with pics.
thanks alot
i will do 
Chellie you have worked hard but isnt it so satisfying. Ive got to the stage 7years on that I want to make changes. We moved house and took most of the garden with us well half a plant of all I had. I had weird looks when I arrived from my new neighbours with me in my wee car surrounded by a jungle,we thankfully moved not too far so I could do a few trips. The worst trip was with the lilac tree!! Im so glad I took it now its a white one and doing well. Because of the plants needing in the ground when we got here we didnt get the chance to plan too much so now as things need thinned out it seems the time to re do some bits
Well done chellie, can see how much hard work you have put in. The garden now looks great. It is so rewarding when you can see it beginning to take shape. We moved to a brand new house 12 years ago and had just a back garden of mud (it was in Nov). We now have a garden full of mature trees, shrubs etc and lots of wildlife and insects. Even birds nesting in Ivy and trees. If I can work out how to post pics I will. It has been hard work over the years doing it on a limited budget and I can say I love my garden.
Wonderful effort, Chellie. I always think before and after piccies are so worthwhile. Would you like to come and do mine now? ;- )
if there was a Like button I would be pressing it
Well done Chellie, great effort and lots of hard work!!
It's great to see so many threads on here where people are in the process of garden projects and getting their children involved! It's brilliant to watch them discovering and learning from something that you enjoy and can share with them!
Keep up the good work and of course keep us all updated also!!?
