Nachdem ich jahrelang meinen elenden Garten vernachlässigt hatte, habe ich mich endlich entschlossen, ihn nicht wie eine Szene aus dem letzten von uns aussehen zu lassen! Bewusst, dass dies eine Weile dauern wird, freue mich aber auf das Projekt. Ärgerlicherweise ist es nur eine gemietete Immobilie, kann es also nicht vollständig überarbeiten und würde es vorziehen, alles zu verschieben, was ich kaufe, an meinen nächsten Ort, wenn ich mich irgendwann nach Möglichkeit bewege.
Ich habe ein ziemlich geringes maximales Budget von etwa 800 Pfund erhalten, so dass alles ziemlich billige Versionen von Dingen sein wird und die Pflanzen zum Glück begabt werden! Sie haben bereits den BBQ und den Tisch/den Stühle erhalten, kann sie aber durch ein übrig gebliebenes Bargeld ersetzen.
Ich habe meinen aktuellen Plan aufgenommen, aber es fühlt sich aus irgendeinem Grund etwas seltsam an
Hat ein Bild meines aktuellen Plans mit groben Messungen angeschlossen, aber nicht besonders zufrieden damit. Hat jemand bessere Vorschläge?

What is your budget?
Remove weeds and crap from Long thin bed next to wire nettting and top dress the bed with a few bags of compost and a handful of growmore per meter and plant summer bulbs, perennials and ten pots of sweet peas. Pressure wash the pavers and remove the weeds. And replenish the soil in between with compost with John innes mixed in and loads of wildflower seeds. Then get some large planters. Also have some great ones. Get bags of compost and plants and bulbs to fill them and a hose to water them daily.

Here is my work in progress garden at my rented property. Just waiting to paint fences and sort the back and move all my pots into position and started this a year ago. You can move all of these ok The pots ideally in winter when everything has died down.
How long do you see yourself being there?
If you are there for a couple more years, then it’s herbs and some nice pots.
Any longer and I’m asking permission for troughs and to lift a row of slabs.
Can youift any hard standing? Unless my eyesight is bad it looks all to be hard and no soil?
Pots to move on are obvious.
I buy recycled plastic pots from online. Extremely cheap. Very light. Don’t break unlike pottery – I’ve spent fortunes on do called frost proof only for them to break quickly.
Might be nice to “break up” the garden somehow? I can’t tell what would work with the space you’ve got, but my previous garden had a trellis on each side coming half way into the garden. One was 1/3 of the way down coming from the right fence, the other 2/3 coming from the left fence, effectively creating two hidden areas. I realise your budget might not spread to trellises, but maybe using taller plants or reclaimed items might work?
I would be lazy and keep the bins opposite the kitchen door and to the left, maybe build a basic lean-to or stick them behind a bit of trellis or something if you don’t want to be looking at them. That frees up your shed for potting, storage, etc. I also wonder how big of a green house you’re planning to put in the middle of the space: my instinct would be to put it along the lefthand fence along with the shed to avoid making the space feel cluttered? Or possibly – if it’s just a small cold frame – next to the kitchen window against that wall. Also depends on the aspect and where you’ll get the amount of sun you want. Good luck with the project! Post updates when you have them so we can cheer you along!
I think you’ll find your half way there if you jet wash and remove the weeds. Then get some pots for plants, plastic pots are cheaper.
