Hello everyone,
It has been another busy day in the garden. I have been pruning back various plants that have been growing out of control and I decided it was high time I weeded the pathway behind the poly. I thought I would take some before and after photos so you could see the transformation.
Behold the overgrown jungle...
So overgrown there was a volunteer swap grass growing in the middle of the path which I have since dug out and relocated! I have certainly overlooked this area of the garden, but I fixed that today.
Say hello to my newly revealed path!
I'm so glad I cleared that out, I can finally walk down there! I have also gained a free ornamental swamp grass, now to decide where to put it...
I hope you enjoyed seeing what I've been doing in the garden today. I'd love to see your latest gardening posts so please link them in the comments! Happy gardening :)

Great post. Such satisfying work clearing overrun areas like this and the results look great. Those plants are growing so fast and furious they must be very happy! Resteemed🦋🌈🌴💛🍀
Thanks @sallybeth23 - I agree it was super satisfying to get it cleared. It's a whole new world back there! Those plants sure grow quickly - they are near a constant water source which is why the swamp grass does so well.
Thank you for resteeming!
I love the shot of the overgrown jungle, it looks so lush and full of life.
You did a great job clearing the path, I would never of guessed it was growing out of control if you didn't show the first 2 shots. The ornamental swamp grass looks nice potted, I hope you find a good spot for it to be!
Haha yes indeed, I had almost forgotten there was a path there too! It wasn't used very much and then when the plants grew over obviously not at all. That's all changed today :)
I am sure there is a vacant spot somewhere for the grass to go, I might keep it potted so it can be moved easily!
Love how natural and vibrant the first pic is, would never of know it hid a path, great job on clearing it, looks great. When will we get to see inside the poly 😃 from what i could see it looks lovely inside. I need a day of weeding before i post up the veg garden its a bit out of control 😆 thanks for sharing

Thank you @digitaldan! It took a few hours but I got there in the end. I am waiting for my plants to progress a bit before posting a poly update, you can see my last poly post here :)
Haha I'm glad I'm not the only one needing to do weeding - would love to see your veggie garden when it's ready to be shown :D
Just checked out that post looks great were pritty much on verge of winter in the Uk, so not much is growing. I started my winter greens on the greenhouse a month or so to late so its not looking promising 😅 im hoping to get some work done in the garden over the weekend so ill try and get a post up then. Have a great day

Aw wow awesome great progress! It looks awesome :) keep up the great work, it must be so fun and rewarding:) I love gardening but the past 3 years I haven’t been stationed somewhere for more than a few months... I know I’ll get back to it in the future😀 peace! 🌅
Thanks @sunsethunter! It is definitely rewarding. I hope you can get back to your garden soon! I can’t imagine being away from mine for that long.
Have a great day :)
Oh, I stand impressed with your swift progress!
How gratifying to be able to see the fruits of your labor come together and to get a bonus ornamental grass plant.
Gorgeous job!
Hey @dswigle! It was extremely gratifying to claim back this lost area of the garden. Tidiness brings me peace, so it was a relaxing activity despite the hard work involved.
Thank you for stopping by, I hope you are having a great day :)
I get that! I have a sense of calm over gardening. I can toil all day and not tire. It is so very gratifying. Yes.
Who would have thought there was a hidden path in there! Great job clearing out the overgrown jungle. I love the before and after pictures.
Haha yes hard to believe eh? Glad you liked seeing the before and after. Thanks for your comment @romeskie!
Well done - it is so rewarding to get stuck into these sort of project don't you think?
Thanks @lizziesworld, and yes it totally is!! It's one of my favourite garden activities :)
Hi @gardeningchef I love your post. I also love gardening.
It gives me such a lift seeing a well manicured lawn and bright flowers on exotic shrubs. Let me share some images here with you : )
Nice to meet you @kayken! I’m glad you like my post. Your garden is gorgeous! Love the dense green trees and bushes, you certainly take care of your lawn too. Thank you for sharing some photos with me :)
I hope you are having a great day!
Hi @gardeningchief Thanks for your kind words! I just love gardening and it means so much to have someone else who shares a similar passion to compliment my effort. Hope we share more in future :-)
My pleasure! I am sure we will. I am always posting from my garden!
I bet that was lots of work! It looks great now, and that ornamental swamp grass looks interesting.
Thank you @icybc, it was quite hard work to get it cleared but worth every bit of effort :)
