Gardening - the before shot

The rank renters' garden - horrid neighbours-be-gone hedge, sick yellow mondo grass, faux redgum woodchip and the styrofoam remnants of the veggie garden from my last rental. As you can see, only a foot wide strip available for edible planting and that just would not suffice. Mr F's third career could well be landscaping, such was his skill and enthusiasm (though looking at the exemplary shovel-leaning, perhaps council worker should be up there too!).
