This is the garden 8 years ago just before we moved in.

This is an arial shot of the garden, last August.
You certainly are Eric, how's anyone sposed to compete with that you rotter! ;D ;D ;D
And to think you told me that the garden was not as big as it appeared in the photos Eric ;)
Bl..dy H.ll ... it's a private estate .... not a garden!! :o
Makes mine look soooo puny. :'( :'(

I don't think we've been addressing Palustris by his proper title, from now on he must be the Lord of the Manor.
I don't see any marshes though...?

Remember my suggestion that he should charge for entrance?
Oh, well, us poor mortals will just have to struggle along in our modest ways, and try to derive a little pleasure from it!! = Tim
PS - I see he had to sell the cars??
Well done Eric .A great deal of hard work and very well done.I think that the word splendid about sums it up.
WOW. Eric you have every reason to boast. You have achieved a huge amount in a relatively short space of time. Lots of elbow grease there. ;D
Ehm........ehm........
Try again....ehm.......ehm.......
Sorry, I'm speechless.
Nice polytunnel Eric !! ;D ;) ;D What's inside??
One thing missing - the helicopter pad for the aerial photos!
What a transformation, do you think you could come up with a few ideas for my lottie next?!

Now that IS strange! :o . One photo i can see fine (the after one) the other - nothing! >:(
I am sure it shows a difference and proves your statement corrrect eric - just cant see it!!
Perhaps someone who CAN see the first picture would like to describe the scene to me.
By the way Eric, how did you get hold of airbourne photos of your 'estate'( ;D) ?
Grrrrr! I dont believe this thing. Soon as i post the message the other photo appears. Cancel previous request re description of before photo
PS I would love to do what you have done. When i win the lottery i will buy a large plot like that and create the garden of my dreams - which is of course what it is, a dream as it will never happen!
really envious of your garden eric lucky you its fantastic and you have obviously worked very hard on it keep the pics coming please :-* :-*
Stunning! Stuff the green fingers, I'm green all over! ???
Good on you, Eric
Richard - if you do win, you'll have to borrow his daughters!! = Tim
Eric - you ruined that beautiful sand school! >:( ;D
That is truly fantastic Eric. It does look like a country estate and you have totally transformed it. Boast away, you have every right! Green with envy. :D busy_lizzie

Hmm interesting idea Tim.........
You could not afford them, believe me!
LOL LOL Eric ;D
By the way you've got me thinking about some boasting of my own. I could easily post some beefore and after pics of my garden to show you all just how much I'VE acheived in the last 7 years!
Oh, Richard - do show us?? = Tim
OK Tim if you REALLY insist! ;D
You'll have to wait until i get the time to scan the 35mm pics onto the computer. Then I'll have to find a new picture storage site to link from seeing as HPphoto are going to stop us doing so.
But be patient I'll find a way!
