Few pics of my construction zone

4 years ago

As some of you know, I had a back injury that is forcing me to downsize considerably. I've gone from 412 different varieties last year to 253 as of today. The good news is going forward, watering, mulching, weeding, cleaning, etc will get easier. Lots of construction going on so only took a few pics and 5 of the old gardens from past years pics no longer exist. Sorry for the tree schmutz and weeds, I'm working on it.....

I am sorry about your back injury. Knees and backs seem to have such a bad impact on our gardening, but I have to say, 253 is still very impressive! your gardens are lovely and all your plants look wonderful. I especially like your combinations in pictures #3, 4, 7, 9.

Hope your back continues to heal and improve. Don't push yourself too much!

That still looks like plenty of work, hopefully you can do some yoga and stretching to help your back. Love how flowing your design looks

Sometimes it is good to start with a clean slate. I hope your back improves.

Your garden is beautifully maintained, esp for someone with back problems. Please try chiropractic or Rolfing before you try surgery.

Sorry to hear that you have encountered a back injury. Your garden does not look like one that someone with a back injury would have. What a great job you have done!

Great job downsizing and simplifying. No one would know if they had not been familiar with your garden. That is still more than the average gardener would do. So sorry about your back problem. Fabulously happy, healthy collection!
