Grindle, I'm totally bowled over ! Your garden is so so beautiful, and in onlt 5 tears! I hope you don't have to disturb that lovely pond too much, and what a view presumably from your house. It's good to see the 'before and after' pics. That old shed looks like it was made form an old air-raid shelter, interesting history. My Dad made a shed from one too.

It’s good to see them all together. I remember seeing the first photo tucked away at the bottom of the old forum and was amazed at the amount of work you put in. I didn’t know about all the rubble and the concrete shed. That is an unbelievable transformation, well done.

I love 'before' and 'after' photos! My goodness - what a difference, Grindle. ;D That breezeblock 'shed' was a real eyesore. You couldn't have lived with that there!

All that colour in the pond pic, and not a flower.

WLF we shifted around 30tons of rubble and soil I bet there were some sore muscles but it was so worth it. |

I don't think we'd be able to do it again WLF, I have to thank OH for all the hard digging, he doesn't like gardening, but he worked his socks off to help me, I was worried about getting all this in  just some of the plants I brought with me  |
