Before and After Pics

[amandaandherveg]

MY OH found an old pic on his phone of the bottom half of the garden last year after we'd bought our house and started gutting it. I took another last week of the same view. Not the best as it was chucking it down and the grass needs cut but it was nice to see that we had indeed got somewhere despite losing all the toms and spuds to blight.


The sale of B&Q rubble sacks went through the roof......




12 months and not much sun later....

The garden looks great has given me the push to get on with mine a hard task as am doing it alone and there is nothing there this summer built two beds for the veg which got started lifted slabs that was under gravel at the front and lifted most of the turf where the slabs have to go and weather has stopped play since on days off its been pouring. want to get slabs done asap so can sort front before weather is any worse

Thanks for you lovely comments. At some points this year I've been ready to give up, first year gardening an the weather has really been against us all.

As well as doing the garden, I also had to do the inside, which was a real wreck. It's nice looking back at the photos to see what it was like before we started.

The downstairs loo was, well, basic..



After a bit of graft.....




The upstairs bathroom was, erm, tasteful.....



Perhaps we shouldn't have bothered.....

I have to show you the sorry little Aga we inherited but unfortunately was past saving..... Sorry to all the Aga fans, I have to confess, I took a sledge hammer to it.



and the fancy kitchen.....



After a lot of sore muscles....

[Demeter]

Goodness - you've done all that in a year?!
That's truly amazing.
Well done you!
