Since moving in, Davin has been taking morning cellphone photos of the yard. We’ve compiled shots taken between January and June into a quick timelapse movie that mark the changes thus far.
The last shot is dated for two days ago. We have since done even more work and you will notice when I update next that the ramshackle shed has been “decorated.” The images do not show the container garden on the porch, a tiny square raised bed, a thin shade garden, and the wall of succulents.
You can watch the video at a larger size and without the black bars around it on Flickr.
This is just fabulous. I like time lapse anything, and a garden version sends me over the moon. Everything looks GREAT!
HUGE transformation already! When we moved in to our current house, the yard was a total blank slate, and it was both exhilarating and exhausting taking that and making it our own. It’s looking great, Gayla!
I really related to your post yesterday, not necessarily about gardening, mind you, but still. Thank you for this!
It looks GREAT Gayla, its an amazing transformation. It will be fun too look back at those photos in a few years when the garden has grown up and you can see how far you have come with it.
And what a transformation it is! You are creating an urban oasis!
That shed would make an excellent place to imprison a homicidal family member as part of horror movie.
The Muddy Road: yes, it has “character.”
Love the time lapse photos of the garden, you can certainly see all the progress you are making. Great job.
It’s great to see the time lapse from a seasonal perspective and also showing all the work you’re doing. It’s obviously a labor of love :) Happy gardening.
That’s a great record of the transformation! Wouldn’t it be great to actually get all that done in that tiny timeframe? Makes you appreciate your own work! Looking forward to you coming to the Atlanta Botanical Garden (I’m a voluneer there).
Wow, nice work! It’s definitely going to pay off this Summer!
This is great! Glad you decided to share some pics of the garden at present. It really looks beautiful, and it is so much fun to watch your work as it progresses.
Very Cool! Looks like you have done a lot of work already!
That was awesome. Please keep taking photos to add to it. I’m trying to do something similar out one of our upstairs windows. I’m not taking them as frequently but it’s starting to look interesting.
Oh I love this! Thank you Davin for your quick morning shots! I must have watched it over and over at least 20 times :-) Thank you Gayla for posting!!!
I’m like Jennifer, I keep watching it over and over again – I focus on a different corner every time, to really get the small changes.
We have a still-quite-new large back yard, currently in its ‘soaking wet sponge’ winter state (the muddy water gushing out when we walk on the grass leaves footprints behind us!), but this short video is a huge inspiration to get going and get started on re-formatting the garden, even if the conditions are not yet ‘ideal’. Thank you.
Awesome! That makes me wish I had done something like that when I broke ground on my garden. It grows every year, so it would be fun to see it evolve in time lapse.
Just awesome.
Very cool! You can clearly see that the snow came and went and came and went again (and again). I also love that your hose gets left out. Just like mine.
What a great video! Someone was thinking ahead, taking all those pictures. It’s obvious you’ve worked really hard.
This is awesome! I love the idea of seeing the progress like this and the garden is looking fabulous!
This is a wonderful time lapse – it needs inspiring music, though!
Wow. So clever and happening so quickly. Makes me extremely jealous with my 5 acre project of destruction which seems to be happening so slowly. Will have to try and set up a similar system!
