Transforming the secret garden...

secret

not because it's space was unknown

but secret

because

it was unknown it could be 

anything other than CHAOS

this was the garden at the end of LAST summer

after TONS of work

do you see that mass chaos behind Princess?

yes.. well…

it's STILL a work in progress but...

and do you see this demanding area RIGHT next to the house?

well

it's weeds AND plants

and we would see field mice run in

and out

so NOT ok with that…

so it was on the MUST tend to list

some of my LOVELY HELPERS!
Mrs. California and Princess worked SO hard to help me!

(seriously.. 

you don't actually think I do any of these 

amazing transformations solo do you?)

TA DAH!

way way better right?

it's not complete yet..

we want to put some large decorative planters there..

but

it's got that garden liner stuff

and it is pretty DEEP with those rocks

Thanks to CS for transplanting all the plants

weed wacking all the weeds

and for brining in all those HEAVY bags of slate!

the hose…

yes.. it's always everywhere..

we have a plan..

just give me time..

it' too shall get taken care of..

THANK YOU PINTEREST

here is the garden as we got it

The walk now?

I know it's not done..

but I would say.. 

MUCH improved!

wouldn't you agree?

The garden

when we first got it.

from another angle...

Things are really shaping up..

we are slowly taking out the scary jagged rocks

that don't create ANY sort of walk way AT ALL in my garden

but DO cause me to fall

trip

bruise myself

twist my ankle

bleed profusely

and otherwise injure self

or wannabe helpers..

more transformation photos to come!
