I just love these before and after pictures. Great work! But concerning your garden, I wouldn't use the word "yard" because it doesn't sound right for this tranformation, "garden" sounds so much more beautiful, and right! So happy gardening in your gorgeous garden! <br />Martine<br />http://jardin-alsace-vignoble.blogspot.fr/Martine-Alsacehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13643372325500010666noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2733342915429018771.post-69339089560437261482014-04-29T19:21:45.695-07:002014-04-29T19:21:45.695-07:00Awww, thank you so much, Sheila!

It reminds me so much of our first house on 80th. It looked very similar. <br /><br />And what a transformation. Kudos to you and the hubby too for that fence and all the work he's put in to it as well. Your gardens are fantastic! Your plants are so healthy and your designs tie it altogether beautifully. Someday I want to see it in person. And I can't wait to see what's new for 2014. Such an entertaining post, my friend. Thanks for sharing.

Grass is so overrated. If I had things my way, I'd have rows of lavender rather than a front lawn. <br /><br />I often have to remind myself when I see your garden that it has taken years of work. I'm only on year three in my garden, and last year I replanted several of my garden beds. So there is no comparison. Your garden is so beautiful and well deserved!<br /><br />It is funny that I bought my first home in 03 and my future husband also built my fence. We decided to move to a bigger home after our second child. The floor plan didn't really allow an addition and we are not the remodeling type either. You and your husband have done great work and I am so glad you are happy!<br /><br />Stacyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14294624848003071390noreply@blogger.com
