Oh yes, lots of work and it's only half done. I don't share much of the still unplanted sections in photos and sometimes I feel overwhelmed by what still needs to be done but I plug away at it a little at a time. We have only been here 3 years so most of the planting seen in these shots are 2-3 years old. The pathways were already there but we had to tear out huge overgrown shrubs and and lots of weeds. If you read my blog, linked in my signature, and start more towards the beginning, you can see some of it's progress.
