**HIJACK!!!** INSERT GARDEN THREAD HERE lol… copy and pasting from a thread i made elsewhere… go wife has been doing a wack of gardening in the back yard… i’m not a gardener of any kind and never really cared before but she’s done an incredible job with the space. I kind of destroyed it by axing down a beautiful birch tree in favour of my garage… fuck trees. still not done… she’s going to build something of a deck to put the outdoor dining set on. need to find a place for my boy’s pool too. ![http://www.bings.ca/images/misc//Home/rear%20garden%20(9).jpg](http://www.bings.ca/images/misc//Home/rear%20garden%20(9).jpg) ![http://www.bings.ca/images/misc//Home/rear%20garden%20(1).jpg](http://www.bings.ca/images/misc//Home/rear%20garden%20(1).jpg) ![http://www.bings.ca/images/misc//Home/rear%20garden%20(8).jpg](http://www.bings.ca/images/misc//Home/rear%20garden%20(8).jpg) ![http://www.bings.ca/images/misc//Home/rear%20garden%20(2).jpg](http://www.bings.ca/images/misc//Home/rear%20garden%20(2).jpg) This was a great idea for this little corner that was really just housing a bunch of ugly junk left over from the previous owners. It’s pretty cozy in this little nook now. You can see that she isnt finished with area adjacent to the rear of the house yet… that is where this deck thing is going. ![http://www.bings.ca/images/misc//Home/rear%20garden%20(5).jpg](http://www.bings.ca/images/misc//Home/rear%20garden%20(5).jpg) ![http://www.bings.ca/images/misc//Home/rear%20garden%20(6).jpg](http://www.bings.ca/images/misc//Home/rear%20garden%20(6).jpg) ---
