Wonderful job!

And I giggled at this: “People with regular eyes should check back here next spring for the full-color results.”

Wow! I’m inspired. I actually did take you up on some of that front yard advice you gave me. But I’m not ready for you to come look at it yet.

I love these how-I-did-it garden stories. Thanks for showing us the before and after. It looks great.

Looks awesome! Removing the tarp alone makes a huge difference! I love the “woodland walk.” It’s charming.

Wow, nice work there. I’m all for no cost makeovers. I was wondering who did all the digging, hopefully not just the two of you? I’ve dug, divided and moved a few things this fall, but I think that much would do me in!

Bravo, Susan – taking what was there already, cleaning it up and organizing everything into a pattern will mean a payoff in beauty next spring!

You did have some luck, of course, because there were some decent plants to work with and transplant to better places. It’s astonishing that one can move into a 15-year old house and find not one single flowering plant or spring bulb in the yard, except for a row of bush honeysuckles under the telephone wires, their seeds excreted by birds. [Ask me how I know this.]
