Before and after pictures contest

A big congratulations to Donna and Nancy! And a big thanks to Matt for coming up with such a brilliant contest. I've thoroughly enjoyed seeing evey one of these inspiring posts!

Thanks Wendy, and thank you so much Matt for the yummy pie!  I'll be sure to make good use of it.

I hope people keep posting more before and afters on this thread... definitely a learning experience!

Thank you Matt for the Pie and for starting this thread! I've enjoyed seeing everyone's projects and would also love to see more.

Mine was a long term project and is still ongoing. My environment is a bit challenging for growing trees- it can take about 6 years before they look like tree rather than bushes. Once they get established however they provide so much support for other plants and animals it is amazing! If you're interested, you can read more about the tree field on my project thread

awesome progress!
