    I've been working on the new garden,(now named the drive garden) when I'm not building the new rockery.:) http://gardenerscorner.co.uk/forum/threads/another-rockery.43465/#post-563893
    I was taking some photos of my progress when I thought it might be fun to compare images with photos I'd taken when we moved in, in 2004.:ideaIPB:
    These are the ones of the "drive garden:
