Don't know why these didn't post......but here are some more views of the work we have done. The area beyween the new garden and shop looking at the entrance to patio. The next is the patio with table and chairs. We enjoy eating out there often. The grill is behind Deb towards the garage. Next picture shows what used to be the 1940's garage when the house was built. We took down the roof and wall to six feet. I added a footing and reused some of the brick to enclose the old garage door opening. The door to Deb's "garden room" is a recycled barn door. The last picture is a view from inside the room showing the rain water barrels which provides for a lot of the watering needs.

Looking towards the shop (which used to be a slab of concrete which we parked on.) The
house origanally had the garage doors in the rear so this area was driveway. After much
pickax work and using the rototiller, we are able to have a garden again.
This is what started the project..........a neighbor's "gift" of thirty strawberry shoots
needing planting last fall. Of coarse that gave Deb time during the winter to design.
The "Double Knockout" roses which are virtually maintenance free and bloom all year.
