Great job Becky! I was impressed with the lushness of your garden but what I enjoyed the most was the variety of bird, I smiled, imagining you sitting outside and be thrilled each time you had a feathered visitor, especially a hummingbird!
While I didn't have to start from total scratch in my garden (or recover from such devastation!) I know the feeling of gradually watching the transformation of something that seemed overwhelming at first to something that brings joy when I step outside.( I have been blogging my progress here on ATP.) I already had curved pathways and a few foundation planting but had to tear out a lot of overgrown shrubs and tons of weeds. It's fun to go back and look at early photos of any garden and see how hard work pays off! You have accomplished so much!
