MY GARDENS 2004 - 05
|
This year, I installed a new larger koi pond, finished a new sitting area that includes two tables built by us, re-did the curving border garden that was demolished due to excavation last fall on the side of the driveway, built a potting bench and bought new furniture for the private backyard area. |
