A year on: a picture is worth a thousand words

Here's your virtual tour through the garden this morning.  I'm kinda shocked myself seeing the before and after photos.  One year later...

Enjoy!

Before!

Before!


This morning!

    Just because you've now done a before-and-after post doesn't mean I can't. You have worked as hard as a sherpa this year, and what amazingly beautiful results. Bravo!!

    Dear Mr. Party Valley Heights,

    Thanks for dropping by to take a look at the blog. I'd love to go to PVH and check out how the gardening is done there. Likewise a visit to the garden here would be good.

    Thanks!

    I had to look very carefully to realize it was the same house. Impressive! A thousand words could never do the transformation justice.

    What is the plant draping down from wires in the last two pics? It looks like a silver waterfall.

    After looking at the pictures of your garden that Reuben posted on his blog I am wondering what the fabulous plants are in his picture with the turquoise-glazed diagonal tile. The artichoke shaped succulent? I love it! (http://ranchoreubidoux.wordpress.com/2011/04/24/gimble-laboratory/)

    Hi. I found this through a friends LJ page... SOOOO cool!! I would LOVE how you got the pots and sticks to stay together... that is a GREAT idea!! And, how does it drain? My GF Is going to be starting a garden at our new house... and, it would be REALLY cool to be able to do something like that!

    I can be emailed at bertsart48@yahoo.com

    Thanks!! And, GREAT job!! :)
